Here is a nice Portuguese medal depicting the Portuguese landing in Japan in 1543. Bronze, 80mm - real hefty

Looks like they used their pants as life preservers back in those day.

And that ship is very cool!

Maybe the engraver was just an MC Hammer fan

Very cool piece.

Little known fact about this encounter:
1543 Portuguese land in Japan
1545 Japanese stop laughing

Nice one Shep. Did you get that off ebay?

I have bought a few similar ones from an ebay seller. Big hefty animals aren't they?

I agree that those pantaloons look hilarious - and ridiculous

Wayne - yep, this is an ebay grab - I have found that the Portuguese ebay sellers have been excellent in all transactions.
These medals are hefty fellows , that's for sure.
