CHINA. Alfred Graf von Waldersee/Journey to China Silver Medal, 1900. PCGS SPECIMEN-64. Marienburg-7792. Diameter: 34mm. By O. Oertel. Obverse: Uniformed bust facing slightly right; Reverse: Sachsensteamship sailing left. A wonderful matte silver medal with antiqued surfaces free of noticeable marks, handling, or tone. Perfect for numismatists who specialize in the Boxer Rebellion, and, more broadly, a worthy addition to any fine cabinet of Chinese-related medals. Field Marshal Alfred Graf von Waldersee was born in Potsdam in 1832 and died in Hanover in 1904. He became a Prussian Quartermaster General in 1881, was promoted to General of the Infantry and Chief of the General Staff in 1888, and later became Field Marshal. He was given supreme command of the European intervention troops sent to put down the Boxer Rebellion and liberate the Beijing diplomatic litigations. However, Waldersee only reached Beijing in September 1900, when the city had already been captured, so his role in the operation was limited. Estimate: $800 - $1,200.

Oertel之手。正面：正裝半身像朝右；反面：薩克森號駛向左方。啞面銀章，幣面質感老舊，無顯眼瑕疵、經手痕跡或包漿。專研義和團時期錢幣學者不可錯失的一枚，更廣泛地說，此枚可為任何中國銀章藏匣潤色添光。 阿爾弗雷德-馮-瓦德西於1832年在德國波茨坦出生，1904年在漢諾威逝世。1881年，他出任普魯士後勤將軍，1888晉升為步兵上將和德國總參謀部長，及後更位升陸軍上將。義和團起義期間，他接最高指令，將歐洲聯合艦隊送往北京，擊倒義和團以平定北京外交風波。然而，瓦德西在1900年9月才踏足北京，爾時北京城已被歐洲聯合部隊佔領，他在此次任務中亦無大功用。
