Japan, Manchukuo. An Order Of The Pillars Of The State, Ii Class Star certificate_of_authenticity on 15 May 1873In silver with red, white, blue, black and yellow enamelled insignia, along with twelve inset pearls, mounted to an eight pointed star base, 80 mm x 80. 8 mm, vertical pinback flanked by dual prongs, all four screws are missing so the insignia sits loose versus the star base, crazing, chipping and repair evident in the red enamels, better than very fine.
