Nach der Niederlage Chinas im Ersten Opiumkrieg (1839 - 1842) wurde Shanghai am 17. November 1843 zum "Vertragshafen". Dies war ein historisches Ereignis, bei dem sich Shanghai gemäß dem chinesisch-britischen Vertrag von Nanjing offiziell als ausgewiesener Handelshafen für die Außenwelt öffnete. Dies markierte die Modernisierung des Raumes Shanghai und förderte auch die Entwicklung der heutigen Stadt Shanghai. Im Laufe der nächsten hundert Jahre entwickelte sie sich von einem Küstendorf zu einer der größten Städte Chinas und des Fernen Ostens.
Sehr rare und bedeutende Medaillen, die die Geschichte von Shanghai erzählen.

Following China's defeat in the First Opium War (1839 - 1842), Shanghai was established as a "treaty port" on 17 November 1843. This was a historic event in which Shanghai was officially opened to the outside world as a designated trading port under the Anglo-Chinese Treaty of Nanjing. This marked the modernisation of the Shanghai region and also fostered the expansion of the present-day city of Shanghai. Over the next hundred years, it developed from a coastal village to one of the largest cities in China and the Far East.
Exceptionally rare and significant medals documenting the history of Shanghai.
