KOREA. The Order of the Taeguk, Undermined Class Badge.
52 x 71.5 mm. Gilt Silver. Typical clockwise Taeguk with clear enamels over faceted metal as produced by European makers, but the suspension inscription is on both sides, and does not match those on any of the standard issues. The ribbon is correct. Similar to Peterson 220-225; Werlich-823. An attractive order based on the Japanese order of the Rising Sun. The enamels are fine and complete, however the gilding near the center of the order is beginning to deteriorate in spots.
太極勳章。等級不明。
52 x 71.5 mm。典型太極圖案，琺瑯質在雕刻的金屬片上，如歐洲製造的。但吊片的兩面都有字，與其他任何標準的形式都不符合。彩帶是正確的，與圖譜的類似。有趣的一枚，形式同日本旭日勳章。琺瑯部份良好完整，但中心的鎏銀開始有麻點。 EXTREMELY FINE.
