    “Of particular note, this medal on offer, bearing the characters 'Special One' instead of the usual numbering, is unique as evidenced by a well-known photograph of Chiang Kai-shek wearing the flipped over medal revealing the characters,” the company (Spink & Son) said in its statement.

    We see the characters, but where is this "well-known photograph"?

    Yep, lower part looks like it is indeed doesn`t have the number ;)

    Not to mention " ... spokeswoman for Spink & Son told that the medal has been confirmed by several experts to have belonged to Chiang" :)

    Where it came from?!

    "Several months ago, someone came to Spink & Son's Hong Kong branch seeking to auction this medal. The experts we turned to are certain that it is authentic," said spokeswoman for Spink & Son.

    Sounds reliable :lol:

    By the way, in 2011, a collector from Taoyuan also claimed to have Chiang's Order of Blue Sky and White Sun with Grand Cordon, which was purchased around 10 years ago at a cost of NT$8 million (US$267,053), the report said, adding that it was later sold to another person (sounds like there are too many Chiang`s orders ;))

    So how much for the start?
