CASH040 extremely rare 1916 copper medal of Governor General Yen Shi-san Class3

CASH040 Up for sale is a extremely rare 1916 copper medal of Governor General Yen Shi-san NGC XF40 BN. This is a class 3 coin, CCC-717. Yen sought to undertake reforms to modernize Shanxi, feeling as if only economic development could prevent the collapse of the province. Yen was able to lead his province through the tumult of the Warlord Era, the Central Plains War, The Second Sino-Japanese War, and the Chinese Civil War only resigning in 1949. Yen's perhaps biggest claim to the Western eye was when he was featured on the cover of the May 1930 issue of TIME Magazine, with the premature declaration'China's Next President'.
