JAPAN: Showa, 1926-1989, AE medal, year 5 (1930), 1930 National (Korean) Census Commemorative Medal, with original clasp, ribbon, case with gold lettering, Unc, RR, ex Joseph E. Lang Collection. The 1930 National Census Commemorative Medal is a rare award minted to honor supervisors, surveyors, and administrative personnel who executed the 1930 census. Because the initial 1920 colonial census in Korea was canceled due to widespread independence protests, the 1930 Korean Census Medal holds immense historical significance and remains highly sought after by collectors. The obverse features a detailed profile engraving of a Daika-era provincial governor dressed in ancient historical attire. He stands over a table wielding classical writing instruments and a household register scroll. The entire border is shaped like a stylized imperial chrysanthemum. The reverse top and central portion references the foundational census system reading "Chosen kokuseichosa kinensho" (Korean National Census Commemorative Medal). The base line text reads "Showa go-nen ju tsuki ichi-nichi" (Showa 5th Year, October 1st, 1930).
