Description

Extremely Rare Interprovincial 10 Cash Mule Possibly Woodward Plate Coin
CHINA. Chingkiang-Chekiang. 10 Cash Mule, ND (1905). NGC EF-45.
CL-TK.03 (plate coin); KM-Unlisted; Woodward-Mule Obverse F (under Chinkiang [character side])/Reverse 2 (under Chekiang [dragon side]); CCC-unlisted; Duan-unlisted. The reverse is the Chingkiang small character variety coupled with the standard Chekiang obverse design featuring the water dragon. Highly interesting and EXTREMELY RARE 10 Cash of two different provinces. According to CL there are possibly only two examples known of this type; one from the Dr. Norman Jacobs collection (the present piece) and one from the Yaksi collection. A well struck and moderately worn survivor displaying smooth chocolate brown surfaces with areas of cinnamon atop of the high points, minor encrustation amongst the devices lending to its originality. The interprovincial 10 Cash are a real treat for the specialist studying mint practices and possible origins of particular issues sure to see spirited bidding from advanced collectors.
Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection. CL Plate Coin
Estimate: $50000.00- $70000.00

極為罕見的跨省混配十文 可能是伍德沃德的圖版原品
江蘇省清江光緒元寶十文混配。
反面為清江小字版,正面則是標準浙江設計的水龍。饒有趣味而且 極其罕見 的十文。根據CL所述,或只有兩枚存世:一枚藏於Norman Jacobs集藏(即此枚),另一枚為Yaksi的私人珍藏。鑄打精良,均匀磨損,光滑的深棕巧克力色包漿,高鑄處呈肉桂色,圖文間有輕微結殼,更顯原始。一枚錢幣上糅合兩個省份,是專業收藏家研究鑄幣習作及某版別起源的絕佳樣本,定能引起激烈爭奪。 On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items manufactured in China.
