Qing Dynasty. Shanxi Xiaobao ("Small") Sycee of 10 Taels ND (19th Century), Opitz-pg. 326 (this piece illustrated), cf. Cribb-XXIV.A.215 (much smaller size). 69mm. 366.54gm. Stamped: "Xi Xi" (double joy). An unusually large size for this "good fortune" stamp, most of the Shanxi ingots with it weighing between 0.3 and 3 Taels, suggesting a significant rarity within the series. The base displays a small inventory sticker from Mr. Opitz's collection. This lot has not yet been assigned a grade, as it will be submitted to Gongbo for certification.
