(t) CHINA. Chang Tso-lin Silver Medal, ND (1927). PCGS Genuine--Mount Removed, Unc Details.
L&M-963; K pl. 189; KMX-565; WS-0112. Diameter: 33mm. Obverse: Bust facing slightly left in military attire; Reverse: Two character legend within wreath. A VERY RARE and desirable medal, this commemorative issue is ever-popular and rather difficult to encounter. Though receiving a details designation, these types are seemingly always found with the presence of a mounting or prior removal thereof, making the "damage" notation rather expected and of little consequence. Attractively toned and worthy of a premium bid, as it features Chang Tso-lin (Zhang Zuolin), a warlord of Manchuria and the military dictator of the Republic of China for a brief period around the time of this medal's manufacture.
Estimate: $15000 - $30000
