JAPAN. BOXER REBELLION WAR MEDAL, 1900 Japan. Boxer Rebellion War Medal, 1900
The Medal was created on 21 March 1901 for the members of the 5th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army and of the Japanese Imperial Navy who were part of the eight-nation alliance forces who lifted the two and a half month siege of the Foreign Legations in Peking (Beijing) during the 'Boxer' Rebellion. The Japanese forces consisted of 20,300 soldiers, 540 marines and 18 warships and were thus much the largest contingent from the eight participating nations.
This is one of the rarest Japanese medals
