CHINA. Yunnan Maoyiding. Provincial Trade Ingot. Silver 50 Tael Official Bank Ingot, ND. Graded "AU" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.
BMC-unlisted. Weight: 1748.2 gms. "Shang Hai"; "Hu Bei"; "Ku Yin" (Treasury silver). The stamps are well applied, but struck multiple times shifting in the process somewhat obscuring parts of the characters making identification difficult. Minor earthen deposits on the face and in the crevasses noted for accuracy. An attractive and richly toned ingot of a type that seldom appears and quite difficult to locate in reference material; sure to excite advanced collectors and specialist alike.
Estimate: $7000.00- $10000.00

清代雲南五十兩貿易銀錠。
重1748.2克"上海"； "湖北"；"庫銀"。印記完整，但是在此過程中多次移動，使字符的某些部分變得模糊，難辨。表面和裂縫中有少量土垢。有吸引力且包漿豐富的鑄錠，稀見且鮮少收錄於參考書目；定會激發高級藏家的熱情。 On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items manufactured in China. Accordingly, all buyers in forthcoming Stack's Bowers and Ponterio Hong Kong Auctions who wish to have any Chinese manufactured item delivered within the United States will be subject to these tariffs. Furthermore, as a result of the new tariffs, all orders will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.
