- Seldom Seen Medals Commemorating the Chinese Minster of Finance CHINA. 10th Anniversary of Kong Xiangxi as Minister of Finance Silver Medal, Year 32 (1943). Guilin Mint. PCGS MS-64. YCM-47. Diameter: 37mm. Obverse: Facing bust of Kong Xiangxi; in Chinese above: "Tenth Anniversary of the Inauguration of Kong Xiangxi Minister in November of Year 32 of the Republic of China;" floral scroll below; all within circular meander pattern; Reverse: Ancient spade money piece; rosette to left and right; all within circular meander pattern. A sharply struck medal with significant die polish in the fields that results is sparkling luster throughout. Lightly toned, mostly in gold and green shades that appears around the ornamental borders. A choice example of this VERY RAREmedal that hardly ever makes an appearance on the market. Struck to honor Kong Xiangxi (1880-1967) who, during his working life, held very prominent roles, such as the President of the Nanjing National Government of the Republic of China (1935-1939) as well the Minister of Finance of the National Government (1933-1944). It is the latter role for which the present medal was issued. On a personal level, his family tree is traced back to Confucius, he being a 75th generation grandson. This specific medal, along with the others offered in the sale, are particularly poignant, as they were once owned by Kong himself and are now being consigned by members of his family. Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000. Provenance: From the Family of H.H. Kung (Kong Xiangxi). Click here for certification details from PCGS.
