Looks like two bidders really wanted this medal.

There are a couple of people who have been collecting for 40+ years, and will pay dearly for a Japanese award they don't have. I know at least one of them shops on eBay.

That price is not a fluke. It's the third that I've seen for sale in recent years and the cheapest price yet.

WOW Extremely rare!! Not into medals but cool to see one for sale since they don't come up very often. Thanks for the education. David.

Come on mate!
One (although without ribbon) was sold two days ago in Germany for 250 euros + 21% buyers premium
