Very rare pure silver (hallmarked on back) antique WWII era Imperial Japanese medal. The medal was awarded by the East Asia Education National Policy Committee. This was for spreading the superior Japanese language and customs to the Chinese people to help them incorporate better into the East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere policy that Japan was trying to create during WWII. That was the attitude back then at least. The medal reads NISSHIBUNKASHINKOUTEIKEI (Japan-China Cultural Promotion Cooperation), KOUKI 2597 (Pillar Year of 1937), KAIDOUKINENSHOU (Meeting Commemoration Medal), TOUABUNKYOUKOKUSAKUIINKAI (Education of East Asia National Policy Committee). You can also see the JUNGIN (pure silver) hallmark. The front of the medal is very much like a medal related to Manchuria. Notice the shaking of hands on the front. The medal is larger than the average Japanese medal, the round part on the bottom alone measures nearly 2 inches in diameter. From the top of the medal to the bottom measures 3.5 inches.
