[KS] 1912 commemorative medal on second anniversary of Japanese annexation of Korea

Hello Eugene:

Wouldn't this be your list -- referring to the first 5 volumes

Looks like that was a kind of "mass medal" that was given to just

Here is another blog entry, arguing for the minimum number (for 1912) 
of 8522 awards which seems to make sense.
