A finely made full-size solid copper replica of the Republic of China Order of the Golden Grain, 8th Class, also known as the Jiahe Medal / 嘉禾勋章.
The Order of the Golden Grain was established in 1912, during the early years of the Republic of China.

The design features the traditional golden grain motif, symbolizing prosperity, merit, and achievement. This 8th Class version features a bright star-shaped badge with a central grain emblem, surrounded by multicolored detailing. The reverse bears a red center with the Chinese characters 嘉禾勋章. It is suspended from a white ribbon with red edge stripes, consistent with the style of the lower classes of the order.
