Can you help me identify this please!!!
Has anyone got any ideas as to what this coin/medallion is? I found it in a
collection I purchased, but seem to be having some difficulty identifying it. Any help would be appreciated. http://www.saddler.pwp.blueyonder.co...s/IMGP8416.JPG http://www.saddler.pwp.blueyonder.co...s/IMGP8418.JPG Many Thanks Colin G.

This is a modern fantasy piece, typical of hundreds of designs similar to original Chinese coins. That is why it is not in the catalogs. James

I think that is Sun Yet-sen (sp?) A Chinese
political figure from the early 20th century. (at least it looks like him). It is probably a commemorative medal.

On second thought I think it is Chiang Kai-shek,
ruler of Taiwan for many years after being driven out of China by the Communists in 1949. Check out this picture, not a close up but I think it matches the coin/medal. http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asi...hoto210797.htm

This appears to be a coin depicting Sun Yat-sen, listed as KM-609. If
it is real, it is worth several hundred dollars. Regards, Tom
