Linxi is a town in the southwestern corner of what became Manchukuo - it was conquered by the Japanese in 1933 as the Chinese troops retreated. This is a rare item where it celebrates individual conquest of pieces of what became Manchukuo. The cup is made of high purity silver and comes with a wooden box. The cup weighs around 47g.
