1 3/4 across, non-magnetic. guessing its not gold (looks way to plain) but still would like to know what it is all about. thankyou
Good luck with that. I would be careful even with the "silver" Chinese coins being sold to the unwary. Like the Chinese silver dollars--I bought a couple from a fellow at a Chinese restaurant and experienced metals dealer told me they weren't silver but fakes. Good luck.
You have a Taiwanese medal apparently put out by the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei to honor the 110th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth. Since Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Chinese Republic, was born in 1887, I'm assuming this medal was issued in 1997.
didn't buy it it was found in a house scheduled for demolition along with a handful of other coins. collector1966: thanks, any idea if it would be a base metal? or?
You are correct. I was confusing birth years. I thought at first it might have been Chiang Kai-shek on the coin, and looked up his data and saw that he was born in 1887. But it is Sun Yat-sen 孫文, and he was indeed born in 1866.
