民国十九年中央造币厰工竣纪念铜章。 直径39 毫米。半身像向左，反面：帆船於海上向右航行，旭日於水平线上初升。罕见且诱人的奖章，鲜少面市，特别是如斯优美品相，更為难得。这枚纪念章纪念上海中央造币厂的落成，并预示了民国二十一至二十三年（1932-34 年）发行的船洋。同时，当时孙中山船洋於民国十八年委託了多国的铸币厂铸打样币，此枚紧随其后於一年后打铸而成，弥足珍贵。整体近完美状态，红棕币面亮丽，无疑会引起鐘情此系列藏家的热切关注。
CHINA. Sun Yat-sen/Completion of the Shanghai Mint Bronze Medal, Year 19 (1930). NGC MS-62 Brown. Diameter: 39mm. Obverse: Bust left; Reverse: Junk sailing right upon the seas; rising sun upon horizon. A VERY RARE and enticing medal that is hardly encountered, especially as alluring as is the case here, this medallic commemorative celebrates the completion of the Central Mint at Shanghai and foreshadows the junk boat series of dollars that would ensue from Years 21-23 (1932-34) of the Republic. Meanwhile, it comes shortly after the various patterns for the Sun Yat-sen/junk types that were commissioned to various world mints the year prior in 1929. As such, this nearly-choice red-brown specimen will undoubtedly grab the attention of the vast array of collectors for this series.
