Tsao Kun "Inauguration" Copper Medal, ND (1923). PCGS AU-58.cf. L&M-960 (for silver); KMX-1234; cf. Barac-149 (same); cf. WS-0106 (same). Diameter: 35mm. Obverse: Facing uniformed bust of General Tsao Kun; Reverse: Crossed flags (the "19-star flag" of the Republican army and the "five-colored flag" of the Republic); character in seal script above and below, six stars around. Edge: Plain. Coming as almost a shock given the uncommon striking in copper, this RARE medal is elevated to a new plateau of beauty and desirability in the copper composition. Softly chocolate brown and sharply struck, this piece displays very little evidence of wear despite its grade. Meanwhile, the surface glossiness is generally unbroken by contact, only broadening the appeal of this medal. Our first offering of the type in copper, therefore, this medal presents a seldom seen chance that should not be missed by the diligent specialist.Ex: Irving Goodman Collection (Superior 6/1991) Lot #1046.
