Qing Dynasty. Yunnan Sanchuo Jieding ("Three-Stamp Remittance") "Packsaddle" Sycee of 4-1/2 Taels, Cribb-Class LXVI.I, Assay Stamp E2. 56x33mm. 164.26gm. Cast at Jinfuxing Bank, inspected by official assayer She. Each of the three main stamps reads: "Jin Fu Xing Hao Hui Hao Wen Yin" (Jinfuxing Bank, remittance bank fine silver), assay stamps read: "Guan Gong Gu She Kan" (Inspected by official public assayer She). A well-struck piece with some slight doubling on the character "Fu". Interestingly, this bank is not recorded in Cribb's catalog of the Sanchuo Jieding British Museum Collection--one of the catalog's most comprehensive portions. This lot has not yet been assigned a grade, as it will be submitted to Gong Bo for certification before the auction.
