民国元年直隶都督张勲二等纪念银章。天津造币厂。齿边。正面：军装张勳将军七分脸，反面：中字上方有交叉双旗，旗杆结带缠绕，外绕禾穗。下方二等纪念牌铭文被擦除，备受瞩目的奖章，带Giorgi签名，些许修补痕迹，属此版的常见特徵，为制作过程的一部分。轻微清洗，见些许包浆渐次养成，饶有趣味的是，在 KMX 中，此版的肖像被指为张锡銮，但其他的参考文献均列明为张勳。<p>CHINA. Chang Hsun Silver Medal, Year 1 (1912). Tientsin Mint. PCGS Genuine--Repaired, Unc Details.L&M-941; K-pl. 191 (for a first class example); KMX-528; cf. WS-0128A/B (for first & second class examples). Reeded edge. Variety with class erased. Obverse: Capped bust of Chang Hsun (Zhang Xun) facing slightly left in military attire; Reverse: Two Five-Colored Flags of the Republic of China, crossed in saltire and bound together with ribbon; all within wreath; in lower field, erased characters pertaining to the awards class. A <strong>VERY RARE</strong> and highly desirable medallic issue, this specimen bears the signature of the celebrated Luigi Giorgi and displays some noted repair. This, however, is rather common for the emission, and appears to have been done officially during the post-minting process. Lightly cleaned, but with some color beginning to reappear. Rather interestingly, this type (in KMX) has also been referred to featuring General Chang Hsi-luan (Zhang Xiluan), though Chang Hsun is listed in all other references.<strong>To view all items from the Nine Dragons Collection, click <a href=https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&limit=96&search=From+the+Nine+Dragons+Collection.&lots_range=upcoming> here.</a></strong>From the Nine Dragons Collection.
