Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 5:45 pm Can anyone translate this character? My last resort. I've searched for hours on end. It's on a Chinese medallion. Ministry of Industry and Agriculture 2nd place Silver award medal. I know 8 of the 9 Chinese characters, but not this one. Hopefully a member might be fluent in Chinese and know what it is at first glace. I'm not lazy. I spend countless hours to translate coin inscriptions, but I could use a little help with this one. I cropped it from the medal legend. Report this Post to the Staff

Numister Pillar of the Community Singapore 631 Posts	Posted 02/01/2016 12:18 pm I think its the word "Zhi" in Traditional Chinese, meaning system or manufacture ? Edited by Numister 02/01/2016 12:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/01/2016 2:02 pm That is it exactly and thank you so much! Really made my day! Now I can go on to complete my project "coin" in my book. That single word was holding me back keeping me from printing a photo of the item with a translation for each word. I tried every word I thought that could fit within the context. Your answer is exactly correct and it fits within the context of an award for industry. Great job and certainly you are a highly valued member. Report this Post to the Staff
