And another Army of Occupation Service Medal by the same company but, note it has the Japanese sampan on the front.
It's not a mistake and not something a vet turned around as I have seen a few of these over the years like this and this is still mint, wrapped in tissue in the box.
What I am suspecting is, these were the earlier strikes and before clasps were issued with the medals. So, probably someone at the company thought these were destined for the Pacific. Only a guess at this point, but I'm looking into it.
The strike on this particular medal is much sharper than the one above. Either way, an interesting variation.
