A detailed miniature version of the China Commemorative Medal for Combatants (China-Denkmünze für Kämpfer). Gilded Finish: Unlike standard issue bronzed miniatures, this specific example is gilded (possibly a period custom job by a jeweler at the veteran's request). The gilding is mostly intact with some minor wear, giving the medal a distinctive look. Diameter 17 mm. Replacement ribbon. The medal was awarded in recognition of bravery and endurance during the conflicts in East Asia, specifically covering the period from May 30, 1900, to June 29, 1901. It was issued in bronze for combatants and in steel for non-combatants. Will be carefully packaged and shipped with Track & Trace.
