Description

Qing Dynasty. Kuang-hsü 95-Coin 1 Cash Money Tree ND (1887-1898) VF (Corrosion, Broken), Board of Revenue mint, cf. KM-C1-16, Hartill-22.1275-1278 (for coin type). 660x90mm. Each coin: 22mm. An exceptionally large tree, which, while admittedly missing more coins than the previous lot, is among the largest money trees we have been able to locate coming to auction in recent years. Moreover, though corrosion is relatively prominent, overall wear is mostly absent from the individual coins, making this a rare opportunity indeed for the enthusiast of cast Chinese coinage.
