Sap knows, but only because someone posted one of these here on the forum some time ago. It's a Japanese Red Cross medal, dating from before WWII. It would originally have had a loop and red-and-white ribbon attached. The medal bears a date, "Meiji 21", which I believe equates to the founding of the Japanese Red Cross Society in 1887.

Do a Google picture search and you'll find lots of examples of similar medals, both these older silver types and the modern aluminium equivalents.
