Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted September 5, 2021 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted September 5, 2021 It's a medal that's been enameled. The 7.1 could be a figure on the Richter Scale, so this piece may commemorate an earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Bob Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I don't read Chinese, but I believe it is a medal commemorating the annual July 1st (7/1) marches held in Hong Kong - possibly one particular event. There is a Wikipedia article here: Hong Kong 1 July marches - Wikipedia Edited September 5, 2021 by Just Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods020 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 It is a medal to commemorate the handover of Hong Kong. Here is a little about it. The pictures show translation. I have an app for that 😁 Authority over the territory of Hong Kong was formally passed from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China at midnight on 1 July 1997, ending 156 years of British rule in the former colony. Hong Kong was reestablished as a special administrative region of China, and largely continues to maintain its existing economic and, until recently,[1][better source needed]governing systems distinct from those of mainland China.

Just Bob Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Good job, Woods. The inscription on the reverse, 中華人民共和國香港特別行政區, translates to: "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic" Woods020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s called photo translator. It’s takes a picture and translates the language to English of any writing in the picture. It isn’t foolproof in that the better the image the better it sees letters. But it’s handy on “tell me what this is” questions. I only recently stumbled on it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I followed the links that Woods provided, found the Chinese and English versions of the inscription, checked with an online translation program to be sure I had it right, and copy/pasted.
