Hello,

 

I believe this is a Japanese Plaquette showing the Osaka coin mint on the obverse.

 

Can anyone help me identify it and help with the text on the medal?

 

I saw it as past sale also here but with no information

Material: Bronze

Weight: 115.77g

85X54,5mm diameter

 

 

Edge mark below.

 

Thank you,

 

Paul

It is indeed depicting the Japan Mint headquarter like on this picture from a coins set (after a few more modernisations).

Will look at the large text tomorrow and see what I can read, these pseudo seal script texts are sometimes confusing.

Thanks Idolenz, I even visited the place and museum 10+ years ago.

 

Google also struggles with this text, thank you.

I updated my guess and added a confidence matrix. You should probably ask someone from the Japan translation team one of them can probably help further in correcting and adding.
 

HERE is a list of small seal script characters if you want to have a go yourself (working with radicals is advised).

Thanks for sharing, I think I have just found 1 more in the top line.

Added it in Bold lettering.

It seems to be from 1911 if you can trust the wrapping paper

That is a great find,

I think that I will manage to add it to Numista with this info.

 

Thank you Idolenz
