JAPAN: AR medal, The 1889 Commemorative Medal for the Imperial Constitution Promulgation, with original ribbon and paulownia wooden box, AU, ex Joseph E. Lang Collection. The Commemorative Medal for the Imperial Constitution Promulgation was established in 1889 to celebrate the first constitution of Japan, known informally as the Meiji Constitution (Meiji Kenpo), which was proclaimed on February 11, 1889. Enacted after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, it provided for a form of mixed constitutional rule and absolute monarchy, based jointly on the German and British models. The gold medal was awarded to Imperial princes and the silver to people of chokunin or sonin rank. The medal was suspended from a red silk ribbon with white edge stripes, symbolizing the solemnity of the event.
