Fukien. Kuang-hsü 20 Cash ND (1901-1902) AU50 PCGS, Fu mint, KM-Y101, CCC-37, CL-FK.24, Duan-0203. A rare copper in general, owing to an original mintage of just 18,000 pieces, many of which have not survived down to the present day, and those which do occur rarely coming meaningfully finer. Apparently one of only 2 PCGS has certified in this grade, the offering contains an even cocoa color over lightly handled surfaces, the details clearly produced from a firm strike, leaving no element underexpressed. Ex. Q. David Bowers Collection; R.B. White Collection
