Post-war Rising Sun Medal

Hello,
How can I see if a Rising Sun medal 8th class is a war production or a post-war official issue?

Thanks

Mario

mario,

I know of no sure way to date Rising Sun issues, although some WWII issues were made of base metal, not silver. After the war, they went back to silver for all issues.
