I've had this for quite sometime now and never checked to see what it is. Anyone familiar with it?

Let me try that again. Here is the picture.

Is there anything on the reverse? I know nothing about these, but perhaps the other side will help others who may? Happy Holidays! :- )

[mmerc20]

The reverse is blank actually.

Well, to state the obvious, I see Sun Yat Sen and Chiang, along with the gear wheel, so clearly Nationalist. The last three characters on the left side are numbers - 5, 10 and 2 - probably meaning 52. Don't recognize the first character; doesn't seem to be a number. The last character on right is "center" or "central".

Best,

Hugh

The numbers is read the other way, so ROC 25th year, is 1936. I have seen a few of these, but I am not sure of the authenticity.

The words below Sun Yatsen relate to the Three Principles. I am not sure of what is below Chiang Kaishek, I see xin seng and the last one not sure of ("new birth ?" or something close to that..).

Just saw one on ebay too.

Ah, yes, it's the old "Read right to left" deal. Forgot all about it. 25th year makes much more sense. Thanks.
