China: "Gift from Bì Shùchéng"

[No one]

Dear Gentlemen,

 

Here is the identification of a medal posted here:

 

 

I'm not sure this medal is a "Naval Merit Medal", without a picture of the reverse to confirm it if there is an inscription.

 

On the obverse, one can see the portait of General Bì Shùchéng of the Zhilu Coalition Army and under it the inscription which read "Gift from Bì Shùchéng".

At 3 o'clock there is a panoply of weapons and at 9 o'clock half a ship. The reason I think is because he was, in the winter of 1925, successively promoted commander-in-chief of Jinan Defense, commander-in-chief of the maritime defense (commander of the Bohai Fleet), envoy of the Jiaodong Protector and commander of the Eighth Army.
