為法屬印度支那鴉片貿易而鑄。鑄打深峻，帶車輪光澤，底板處的印記極輕微。此枚在邊緣處有灰色包漿，光澤十分耀眼。 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.
