Description

CAMBODIA. Tical, CS 1208 (1847). PCGS Genuine--Chopmark, Unc Details Gold Shield.
KM-36; Daniel-79. Purported mintage: 50,000. Thick Flan variety. A boldly struck and beautifully toned coin, a real delight to the eye. One bold "chopmark" has been applied, quite tastefully, to an area of the reverse field and does not impinge upon the design. Rather than detract from the beauty of the coin, it would seen to add a point of historical interest. According the scholarly work conducted by Mr. Howard Daniel III, covered in his book "Cambodia Coins and Currency" there are several distinct "chopmarks" that appear on these issues. Mr. Daniel speculates that these chops were applied between 1853-79 and consists of a sunburst type and at least two different Chinese calligraphy chops.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00

1847年柬埔寨1提卡銀幣。
宣稱發行量為50,000枚。厚坯。鑄打深峻,包漿漂亮,賞心悅目。反面底板有一枚深刻的戳記,並無觸及設計。不損錢幣美感之餘,更增添歷史趣味。 Howard Daniel III的研究著作"柬埔寨錢幣及紙幣"一書中提及此類版別有幾枚特殊的"戳記"。Daniel先生推測此類戳記於1853-79年間加蓋,有朝陽版及至少兩種中文書法戳記。 On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items manufactured in China.
