- (t) CHINA. Silver Medal of Merit for the Qing Dynasty, ND (1896). PCGS Genuine--Mount Removed, Unc Details Gold Shield. 42mm. LM-989. Imperial envoy. Also known as the "Legation" medal. Commemorating Li Hung Chang's world tour. Two facing dragons, a sun design between with six characters above and four below, the whole encircled by an ornamental border. It is known that the Heaton Mint in Birmingham, England also produced these medals. It seems reasonable that the pieces with the initials are of Russian manufacture, and those without are from the Birmingham mint. Quit pleasingly toned, though with some minor cleaning and the noted edge marks from typical mount removal. Estimate: $6,000 - $9,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS. 大清欽差大臣賞給功牌。 李鴻章出訪紀念。雙龍相向，四周花邊環繞。英國伯明翰喜敦鑄幣廠亦生產過此款功牌。合理推測是，功牌上有首字母縮寫的是為俄國製造，無首字母縮寫的是為英國製造。
