    Description

    The ID badge for the 1920 Census, as required in Article 14, was announced on 9th July 1920. After use as an ID badge during the survey, the surveyors were allowed to keep the badge.
    Badges for 1920, 1925, 1930, 1935 and 1940 are shown in the illustration noted in pictures. These were like lapel badges done in small coin size, actually by the Japan mint, not involving the Decorations Bureau responsible only for medals and orders. They were to be worn on the left chest fixed with a safety pin through the ring.
    The census was carried out even for remote parts of the country such as Taiwan, Okinawa and Sakhalin.
    It is silver in color, non-magnetic and approximately the size of a small US Dollar coin.
