Cointosser77 Valued Member United Kingdom 195 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 5:38 pm Hello I bought this interesting medal on a whim for £10, it looks to be from Korea from before 1948. You can see the China flag, red star, Korea flag, and North And South Korea as 1 country as before 1948. Unfortunately I do not know what it says, who issued it, when and what for and for whom it was intended and how many they made etc. Any additional information on this is greatly appreciated.

Cointosser77 Valued Member United Kingdom 195 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 5:48 pm Ok so maybe it is from post 1948 as that Flag wasn't until then, and it was maybe propaganda from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to show 1 country? Or it was a propaganda medal from China? Does anyone know what it translates to on the bottom? Edited by Cointosser77 03/22/2019 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
