CHINA. Zhejiang Dixingding. Provincial Mound Ingots. Silver 5 Tael Local Tax Ingot, ND. FINE-VERY FINE.
BMC-Class XLIII Group A. Weight: 180.33 gms. Three vertical stamps arranged counterclockwise as "Chang Xing Xian" (Changxing county); "Nian Jiu Nian" (29th Year); "Gong He" (Gonghe Bank). The stamps are fairly weak, but mostly readable, coupled with thick encrustation, harsh cleaning, and damage at the edge of the raised lip between the first two stamps. Definitely a piece that has seen better days, but is a desirable type none the less.
Estimate: $400.00- $600.00

浙江省五兩塚錠。
重180.33克。三個直式鑄記，以逆時針順序排列，"長興縣"，"念九年"，"公和"。鑄記鑄打較弱，但大部分仍可分辨，有厚結殼，強力清洗痕跡，前兩處戳記之間有邊緣損傷。絕對是飽經歲月洗禮的一枚，但仍然是理想的藏品。 On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items manufactured in China.
