Comments
This coin commemorates Yuan Shikai's attempt to restore the Empire of China by proclaiming himself Emperor Hongxian in 1915; however, this attempt was a failure, and the Empire lasted only 83 days.
A fantastic part of chinese history not to be missed at this low listing price. It would be extremely hard to find a much better example than this Badge, Badge weight a bit!! In great condition.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at anytime.
They are all in excellent condition and would make a fantastic addition to any collection.
