CHINA. Chihli. Tsao Kun Merit Medal Breast Star, ND (ca. 1920-24).
64.23 mm. Silver eight rayed star with multi-colored enameled ring in the center of which is a disc with the image of Tsao Kun in a military uniform, very similar to the pose used on the 1924 Dollar (L&M-959). The reverse has a long hinged tunic pin but bears no markings or inscriptions. In remarkably good condition, with handsome old toning on the silver elements and only the most trivial scuffs to the otherwise completely intact enamels. SCARCE to RARE in this lofty state of preservation. EXTREMELY FINE.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
