MANCHUKUO: AE medal, The National Shrine Foundation Commemorative Medal (Jiànguó shén miào chuàngjiàn jìniànzhang), with original ribbon and yellow case of issue with silver lettering, Unc, ex Joseph E. Lang Collection. The National Shrine Founding Commemorative Medal was established on November 25, 1940 by the government of Manchukuo, a puppet state established by the Japanese Empire in northeast China. This medal commemorates the opening of the National Shrine (Kenkoku Shinbyo), a Shinto temple dedicated to the goddess Amaterasu, Emperor Meiji, and Manchu ancestors. The shrine was located next to the Imperial Palace in Hsinking (present-day Changchun), symbolizing the spiritual legitimization of the regime and the integration of Manchukuo into the Japanese cultural sphere. The construction of this shrine was announced in 1935 by the Kwantung Army's Special Service Office, with the aim of promoting friendship between Japan and Manchukuo and consolidating the imperial presence in the region.The medal is made of silver-plated bronze. The obverse features a stylized representation of the shrine's torii gate, flanked by traditional architectural elements evoking Japanese aesthetics. The reverse features inscriptions in Chinese characters indicating the date of the shrine's inauguration and the medal's issuance, using the Manchukuo Imperial calendar (Year 7 of Kangde).
