Republic of China Army and Navy Medal, Gold Class, 1912 – Full Size Replica

A finely made full-size solid copper replica of the Republic of China Army and Navy Medal, Gold Class, representing an early military award of the Republic of China.

The Army and Navy Medal was established in 1912 under the early Republic military award system. According to the original award regulations, the medal was divided into four classes: Gold, Silver, Blue, and White, with the Gold Class being the highest grade. It was awarded to military personnel for distinguished service in wartime or peacetime, and could also be granted to non-military individuals who rendered special service to the army or navy.

This replica features a striking blue and white star-shaped design with red floral details, a green leaf element at the top, and a central medallion bearing the inscription “中華民國”. It is suspended from a distinctive five-color ribbon in black, white, blue, yellow, and red, reflecting the visual style of the early Republic period.

Produced in solid copper, this full-size historical replica is suitable for display, study, reenactment, or medal collection.
