Japan Order of the Rising Sun Medal, 7th Class
<B>Japan Order of the Rising Sun Medal, 7th Class.</B></I> The Order of the Rising Sun, which has been issued since 1875, is awarded to military personnel and civilians alike. This likely conflict-era badge has a metal hook contained in a white-centered ribbon with a red stripe to each side. From this hangs a silver medal in the shape of three paulownia leaves with pink and green enameling on the front and a series of characters on the back, presumably the name of the recipient. The enameling over the leaves distinguishes the 7th Class badge from the 8th Class badge, which is plain.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
