Subject:Help with maker and when produced
Posted By: sharon smith Fri, Dec 30, 2022 IP: 2603:8001:800:db79:3

I have a Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall token and I would like to know when it could have been made and sold?

Better pictures clearly showing the characters on the item might reveal an answer. Meanwhile, garbage in garbage out. :(

Sharon, sorry but whatever you're taking the photos with must have a dirty lens. The original size of your pictures themselves is only about an inch square or 360 pixels and doesn't improve in clarity when enlarged on even the best Photoshop programs available from Adobe. Sorry to complain but I can only enhance the larger characters enough to read with any certainty. Results below:

STACK OF TWO ON OBVERSE OF THE MEDALLION: 博愛 (Bo Ai) - "Universal Fraternity"

BOLD RED INSIDE CASE LID: 天下為公 (Tian xia wei gong) - "The world is for everyone"

My best guess is that this is a contemporary souvenir from the Taiwan memorial to Sun.

Best wishes,

Bill H.
