Qing Dynasty. Irregular Yuansi Changyuankezi ("Fine Silk Oval") Sycee of 1 Tael ND, cf. Cribb-LXXXV.A.1174 (different weight). 35mm. 35.28gm. Highly unusual and perhaps the product of an exceptionally shallow or defective mold; though usually quite ovular as a type, more irregular pieces, such as the cited specimen, are known. While admitting clear rub to the face, the base is minimally touched and highly original. This lot can be submitted to Gong Bo Grading for certification after the auction at the buyer's request.
