(t) CHINA. China - Germany. Bronze Medal of Merit for the Qing Dynasty & Prussian Army Long Service Silver Medal II Class, ND (ca. 1896). ALMOST UNCIRCULATED.
An interesting set of medals that, for all intents and purposes, appears to have been awarded to a member of the German embassy that accompanied Li Hung-chang on his world tour. The bronze medal offers a pleasing, rich brown patina with what appears to be remnants of silvering on the edge. The devices are well struck and crisp, with light signs of handling contained to the exposed areas and high points. The suspension ball has been slightly modified for ease of suspension on the bar. The Prussian medal is nicely preserved with intact enamel with light handling. Also included is a conjoined ribbon bar for both medals.

Also known as the "Legation" medal. Commemorating Li Hung Chang's world tour.
