China
Republic Tsao Kun "Constitution Commemorative" Dollar or Medal ND (1923) AU, Tientsin mint, Kann-678, L&M-959, WS-0105. 39mm. 30.55gm. Military dress variety. Plain edge. With integral mount and ribbon. Appealing toned with a profusion of peach, turquoise and rosaceous hues over both sides. Often deemed a dollar on the basis of its size, though more properly a medal for the president's inauguration and the passage of the Chinese constitution, this type is rarely found officially mounted for display, with mounted examples showing a facing bust and smaller size (cf. Barac-149).
