PIN 00125

Cast Medallion with Chairman Mao and Lin Biao

An absolutely fantastic piece! Cast in what appears to be brass alloy, this clearly shows Chairman Mao sitting with Lin Biao at 9th Party Congress in 1969. This is the only piece of this sort we have discovered in 9 years in China and as such, believe it to be extremely rare and collectible.

PIN XX

Chairman Mao Pin Stamping Errors 

This is a very unusual and unique piece. Chairman Mao's profile has been stamped into an alumimun strip, but the metal was too narrow, so small portions of the outter ring are missing. These should have been re-melted and made into strips again, but for whatever reason they survived.
