Dang. How did that happen? Congrats on the nice pick up. I think that there must be less than 10 in existence.

For us that are ignorant on these things, is this a "you suck" kind of worthy find?

It's pretty rare. The OP says that there are 2 slabbed. About 1/3 of the ~1400 HK-listed So-Called Dollars have slabbed populations as low or lower than this one.

What metal is your medal struck from? If it's struck in "white metal" which is primarily tin, there appears to be "tin pest" on the obverse at 11:00. If so, suggest that you store it in cool place with low humidity so it doesn't continue to spread. There was a lengthy discussion here a couple of days ago about tin pest. I'd like to see a pic of the reverse.
