ROC Blue Sky White Sun Starburst Medal & Ribbon Bar – Later Pattern

ROC Blue Sky White Sun Starburst Medal & Matching Ribbon Bar

A high-quality collector reproduction based on the later, widely recognized form of the historic Blue Sky with a White Sun medal design of the Republic of China.

The centerpiece displays the famous twelve-rayed White Sun against a rich dark-blue field. Around it is a large radiating white starburst outlined with polished gold-tone metal, giving the medal a bold and highly decorative appearance.

The set is completed by a traditional red, white and blue woven suspension ribbon and a matching ribbon bar, both fitted with metal pin-back mountings.

The Blue Sky with a White Sun is among the most important symbols connected with Republican Chinese political and military history. Its distinctive design appeared on military insignia, flags and decorations throughout major events of 20th-century Chinese history.

A striking addition to collections of Republican China, ROC militaria, Nationalist Chinese history, WWII-era China, Chinese Civil War material and Asian military decorations.
