A resoundingly struck specimen, this medal delivers a bold and expressive strike, with much beautiful luster that shimmers throughout. Enchanting tone hugs the ornamental borders, and gives touches of green, gold, and orange toning. Limited handling or friction is seen, preserving this piece's Choice eye appeal. A lovely specimen that seldom 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. Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000.
