Description from the seller
CHINA, People’s Republic. Medal. 2021
- Value: Medal.
- Year: 2021.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: portrait of Yuan Shikai with shaved head and ceremonial uniform, surrounded by a legend in Chinese characters and a vegetal crown at the bottom. Reverse: two crossed flags with hanging tassels, one with a star emblem and the other with wavy stripes, accompanied by a circular legend in Chinese characters and stars as separators.
- Grade: PR70 (PCGS).
Modern medal struck in silver-plated copper with an antique finish, corresponding to design LM-863 inspired by the republican era. The obverse presents a solemn portrait of Yuan Shikai, in a realistic and sober style, with careful facial modeling, well-defined reliefs and uniformly textured satin fields. The reverse shows a symbolic composition of political and military character, with crossed flags rendered with precision and balance, highlighting the contrast between reliefs and the matte background. The piece offers a homogeneous gray patina, full relief and flawless surfaces, typical of a top-quality proof striking, certified at the highest grade of preservation.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to make it absolutely clear that I ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or to an EU country that has a special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped by your local customs and you might be asked to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
