Commemorative and honorary medal for the 2600th anniversary of the founding of the Japanese Empire
2600th. National Anniversary Commemorative Medal



The history of the Japanese Empire is ancient and the year 660 (BC) was until the defeat of Japan in II. World War II is taken seriously as the date of origin of the Japanese Empire and the divine origin of the emperor himself (the current Japanese emperor Akihito is already 125 emperors of the Japanese Empire).


January 1940 was officially declared the 2600th year of Imperial Japan. This decoration was established by Remembrance No. 488 of 17 July 1940 on remembrance and eternal glory, remembrance and remembrance. The medal was intended as a memorial primarily for imperial officials soldiers, but in this case it was a wide range of honorees.



MEDAL DESCRIPTION:


The medal, which has a usual diameter of 30 mm, is made of an alloy of aluminum and bronze. On the front is the motif of the imperial emblem (chrysanthemum) and further as the main motif is the double bridge on the medal, which stands at the entrance to the interior of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. We can also recognize the imperial temple and court.


The reverse medal has the title from the hieroglyph:


MEMORIAL MEDAL FOR CTI 2600 STATE ANNIVERSARY


This inscription is placed vertically on the medal. At the bottom of the medal is the date:
15 YEARS OF THE SHOW (1940)



RIBBON:


The ribbon itself is 37 mm wide. The color of the ribbon is light purple with eight red (red) stripes. In Japanese mythology, the color light purple is reserved for the colors of heaven, red is the color of fidelity.


The medal was also intended for women, wives of officials, soldiers, diplomats. In this case, the medal was on the so-called Danish ribbon.


Note:


The Japanese Empire is undoubtedly the oldest in the world. Japanese society was strictly divided into social classes (castes) and the award in the social class was decisive for the award of the order or medal. This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese orders have eight (8) degrees. The rank, distance or job classification of the candidate is therefore decisive for the actual award of the order. The basic symbol of the empire is chrysanthemum and the leaves of Paulownia (Paulovnie imperalis)
