    Japanese Translation Help Needed

    I recently purchased an Imperial Japanese pocket watch chain which had a couple of what appear to be naval medallions. Any help with translation would be very much appreciated. THANKS!!!!

        Reread my post again -- I updated it. The round one is dated 1904 and is a 25th anniversary commemoration of the Asahi Newspaper's first edition.
