CHINA. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Brass Medal, Year 18 (1929). PCGS SP-63 Secure Holder.
76.2 mm; 159.00 gms. CCC-720. Bust of Sun Yat-sen facing three quarters right; Reverse: View of the entrance to Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum at Mount Zijin in Nanjing, seal script legend above. Struck by the Medallic Art Company of New York. Normally this medal has an edge inscription naming the Medallic Art Company however this example lacks such an inscription although this fact is hidden by the PCGS holder. Though struck in brass the medal bears a lovely subdued golden bronze patina which gives it a certain warmth in appearance. This is matched with the well executed dignified visage of Sun Yat-sen creating an exceptional medal especially when compared with others of the period. The only example thus far certified by NGC or PCGS and certainly the nicest example of its kind we have been able to present. PCGS SP-63 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
