Need help with this Chinese item.

[rrobertscv]

I am new to this forum and am searching for information on this item, I am a militaria collector and came across this today, any help would be appreciated. This came from the estate of a 91 year old lady here in the town where I live. Before she died, she said her husband picked it up while he was overseas in the military, 60-70 years ago. Could someone please tell me what it is, what it says and what its value might be? Thanks for any help at all.

2. 勝利-victory

3. 蔣--Chinese surname

Hope it helps!

Well, 蔣 is not just any Chinese surname.

It's Jiang as in Jiang Jieshi, more commonly known as Chiang Kai-shek.

So this looks like a victory talisman.

Not that it did much good.

@ rrobertscv

can you give us a close up of the writing in the box. I can make out AHMONG, and Shanghai China. The rest might give more clues.

[Raye Zhang]

it looks like a model of traditional Chinese coin, Spring & Autume or Qin Dynasty.

from the print in the box cover, it should be made in Shanghai province.

[rrobertscv]

Thanks for the help so far. I will scan a close-up of the box tonight and post it.

海Tel****上------------上海=Shanghai，a famous province in China

製光仲豪---------------it must be red from the right to the left "豪仲光製", 豪仲光 is a company`s name,製 means MAKE,so these four letters say that

[this coin is made by 豪仲光 Company]

Considering the "Ah Mong", could it be 蒙 instead of 豪 ?

[Raye Zhang]

i cannot see it clearly,perhaps it is 蒙.

but the meanning of 蒙is not so nice for a company name,豪 is often found in names:wink:
