CHINA. China - Peru. Reorganization of the Kuomintang Copper-Nickle Medal, 1924. PCGS AU-55.

Copper Nickel. Diameter: 23mm. Obverse: Flag of Kuomintang and flag of the Republic of China crossed in saltire; legend around; Reverse: Inscription in nine lines.

This medal commemorates the reorganization of the Kuomintang in 1924, from the Chinese Revolutionary Party. Among other consequences, the 1924 reorganization of the Kuomintang strove to end warlordism in China. To this end, the Kuomintang sought aid from the Soviet Union to reunify China, and allied themselves with the Chinese Communist Party in the First United Front. Before China could be reunified, Chiang Kai-shek purged Communists from the United Front, leading to the outbreak of the Chinese Civil War, which would continue until 1949, with a brief hiatus from 1936-1945 to fight the invading Japanese forces.

Estimate: $200 - $400.

民國十三年國民黨支部開幕紀念銅鎳章。

鎳銅合金。直徑：23毫米。正面：國民黨旗與中華民國旗交叉呈聖安德烈十字；銘文環繞。背面有九行銘文。1924年中華革命黨重組為國民黨紀念。其重組旨在結束中國的軍閥主義。為此，國民黨尋求蘇聯的援助以統一中國，並與中國共產黨結盟，促成第一次國共合作。然而，在中國尚未統一之前，蔣介石開始清除共產黨，導致內戰的爆發。內戰曾於1936-1945年間因日本侵略而曾經短暫休戰，最終於1949年結束。
