1945 WWII U.S. Army Occupation Medal - Germany and Japan Theaters - Vintage Commemorative Medal - Post WWII Medal

This listing is for the photographed 1945 WWII U.S. Army Occupation Medal. 

The ship scene on the reverse specifically represents the occupation of Japan. The U.S. Army describes the reverse as Mount Fuji with two Japanese junks (traditional sailing vessels), with the date 1945 below. The obverse shows the Remagen Bridge, representing the occupation of Germany. The medal itself was established in 1946, even though it carries 1945, representing the beginning of the postwar occupation period. It was awarded for qualifying occupation duty, generally requiring 30 consecutive days.
