CHINA. Colonists' Centennial of Peruvian Independence Silver Medal, 1921. Lima Mint. PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield.
L&M-997. Struck to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Peruvian Independence from Colonial Spain. This charming medal was produced for and issued by Chinese immigrants in Peru. Obverse: Conjoined arms of China and Peru, leaves above and below; Reverse: Nine line inscription. It is interesting to note that the Chinese coat-of-arms overlaps the Peruvian coat-of-arms, even though the medal was struck at the Lima by Peruvians in observance of the Peruvian centennial. Handsomely toned with an appealing luster.
Estimate: $1200.00- $1500.00
