Republic gold Central Mint Bar of 5 Taels ND (1949-1951) MS62 PCGS, L&M-1072. 70x30mm. 155.21gm. Stamped with the bust of Sun Yat-sen and a depiction of an ancient spade coin (the mark of the Central Mint) on one side, and the weight, fineness, and serial number CD 24405 on the other side. A remarkably fleeting large-size gold bar from this Central Mint series, of enormously greater scarcity than the frequently seen 5 Mace (1/2 Tael bars). Of great rarity as such, and sure to garner ample bidder attention. Mislabeled on the holder as a Taiwanese bank issue.
