Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Laos, Kingdom. A Medal of Government Gratitude (AKA Order of the Revolution) 1960-1961

Médaille de la Reconnaissance du Gouvernement. Instituted in 1962. In bronze, dated "1960-1961" on the reverse, measuring 34.5 mm (w) x 60.2 mm (h), discolouration evident on the reverse, original ribbon, near extremely fine.

Footnote: The Medal of Government Gratitude (AKA Order of the Revolution) was instituted on January 27, 1962. This medal was for service in the rightist forces in the 1960-1961 "campaign" of civil war for political ascendancy between General Phoumi Nosavan’s Royal forces and General Kong Le’s Neutralists and the allied Pathet Lao. The medal was also reportedly given with finger rings in the grades of gold, silver, and bronze.
