Charming Tsao Kun "Inauguration" Medal
(t) CHINA. Tsao Kun "Inauguration" Silver Medal, ND (1923). Tientsin Mint. PCGS Genuine--Mount Removed, AU Details.
L&M-960; KMX-1231; Barac-149; WS-0106. Diameter: 35mm. Obverse: Facing uniformed bust of General Tsao Kun; Reverse: Crossed flags (the "19-star flag" of the Republican army and the "five-colored flag" of the Republic); character in seal script above and below, six stars around. Quite pleasingly toned, with a fairly even nature to the hue and just a light degree of wear. Though noted as being removed from a mount, this type was made to be mounted, meaning that its "damaged" designation is entirely unsurprising and wholly consistent for the issue.

迷人的曹錕戎裝紀念章
民國十二年曹錕戎裝小型紀念銀章。
直徑35毫米。正面為曹錕戎裝半身像，背面為交叉的兩面旗幟（國民軍"十九星旗"和民國"五色旗"），上下方各有一篆書文字，外繞六角星。此章包漿悅目，色澤均勻，磨損輕微。儘管被標示為"移除鑲嵌"，但此類紀念章本身就設計為可佩戴，因此其"損壞"的標籤並不奇怪，也符合該版式的特點。 (t) On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes.
