アメリカ大統領から遣米使節団に贈られた記念メダル Commemorative Medals presented by the President of the United States to the Japanese Delegation
遣米使節一行は帰国に際してブキャナン大統領から記念メダルを贈られた。使節三人は金メダル、以下随員が銀、従者は銅メダル。ここにあるのは銅メダルで、小栗忠順の従者江幡（のち荒川）祐蔵がもらったものが、茨城県の生家・江幡家に伝えられています。さらに小栗忠順の従者三好権三の出身地・島根県県津和野町日原にも遺されていることがわかりました。従者（家臣）・江幡祐蔵：のち荒川姓となる。優秀な若者で、小栗忠順従者として世界一周ののち、江戸から権田に来て小栗公とともに斬首される。享年３９歳
Before leaving the United States to set out on their journey back to Japan, the delegation members were presented with commemorative medals by President James Buchanan. The three envoys received gold medals, the retinues received silver medals, and the followers received bronze medals. The bronze medal shown below was given to Yuzo Ebata (later the surname was changed to Arakawa), a follower of Oguri Kozukenosuke, and has been handed down to the Ebata family, his birthplace in Ibaraki Prefecture. We also found out that a medal was left behind by a Oguri's follower, Gonzo Miyoshi, who was from Nichihara, Tsuwano Town, Shimane Prefecture. Yuzo Ebata, a vassal of Kozukenosuke Oguri: Later took the surname Arakawa. After traveling around the world as a follower of Kozukenosuke Oguri, he came to Gonda from Edo and was beheaded together with Lord Oguri. He died at the age of 39.

従者（家臣）・三好権三のメダル The Medal of Gonzo Miyoshi, a follower of Kozukenosuke Oguri
	ウラ　 back 家臣の三好権三は島根県津和野町日原の出身帰国２年後に江戸駿河台の小栗家屋敷内で死去したので、世界一周した人物であるのに日原で活躍しなかったため島根県ではほとんど知られていない。 Gonzo Miyoshi, Oguri's follower, was born in Nichihara, Tsuwano Town, Shimane Prefecture. He died in the Oguri family residence in Surugadai, Edo two years after returning to Japan, so he is hardly known in Shimane Prefecture even though he was a person who went around the world.

東善寺に寄贈されたメダル（レプリカ）　　　２０１４平成２６年４月 Medal (replica) donated to Tozenji Temple April 2014

この模造品（レプリカ）の見分け方なにかの記念品として製造されたものであろう。いつ製造されたか不明。丁寧によく作られている。しかし、ネットなどでときどきもっともらしい箱や古文書を付けて本物まがいの値段で世間を騒がせることがあるので、見分け方を説明します。模造品は１、銅メダルの場合、赤銅色のはず（上の画像参照）２、レプリカは前頭髪がサッカーのベッカム選手風に立っていて、耳上のウエーブも違う３、レプリカは周囲の英文字が大きくて、初めと終わりの位置が違う　など How to identify Counterfeit medals It is unclear when this medal was made, but it is carefully and well made. However, they are sometimes sold on the Internet with plausible boxes and old documents. I am pleased to explain how to tell the difference as follows: 1. The real medals are reddish bronze (see the pictures of reddish bronze ones above), but the counterfeit medal is not. 2. The hair on the head looks like David Beckham's, and the wave above the ear is different from that of the real medals. 3. The surrounding English letters are larger and the beginning and the end of the letters are differently positioned compared to the real medals.

フィラデルフィアで創られた遣米使節歓迎のメダルは「ワシントン大統領」
２０２３年、熊本市内で「フィラデルフィアで制作された遣米使節歓迎の記念メダル」が見つかった。上記のように、ワシントンで大統領から送られたメダルは「ブキャナン大統領」が浮き彫りであるが、こちらはアメリカ独立宣言の街だけあって「ジョージ・ワシントン初代大統領」の像となっている。
