ORIGINAL 1922 CHINA HSBC BANK SHANGHAI ZODIAC DOG MEDAL BADGE 香港上海汇丰银行生肖纪念章

Description

This is an original item issued by HSBC, NOT a replica. 31 mm or 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Issued by Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank in Shanghai in 1922 for commemoration. HSBC issued a total of 12 zodiac badges, 1 badge every year for 12 years. This was made in a limited quantities and only given to its best customers. Even the late famous Chinese coin collector Mr. Ma Ding Xiang only managed to collect 5 of the 12 zodiac badges.
据查，上世纪一二十年代，是香港上海汇丰银行在中国境内活动全盛时期，资本金额已超过几十万倍。为纪念这一辉煌业绩，银行每年铸造一枚生肖纪念章，赠送有关人员以作纪念。时至今日，香港上海汇丰银行生肖纪念章存世已经非常少. 已故马定祥先生也只收到五枚包括已未(羊);戊午(马);辛酉(鸡);乙丑(牛);丙辰(龙)。
