This medal commemorates Prince Soonjoong's (later Emperor Yung Hi) wedding
on January 24, 1907.
OBVERSE: Two doves facing each other.
REVERSE: Korean inscription 'Great Korean Empire, His Highness the Crown
Prince, Marriage Ceremony, Commemorative Medal, Kwang Mu 11, 1st Month 24th
Day.' Translation from Peterson's book.
Peterson mentions that this meal was also cast in bronze. I have a picture of a
bronze-colored medal below, but I suspect it is a fake.
Scarcity Scale 1 dot is common. 5 is extremely rare.
