Ancient Chinese Coins

(t) CHINA. Qing Dynasty. 50 Cash, ND (ca. April 1854-July 1855). Board of Works Mint, old branch. Emperor Wen Zong (Xian Feng). Certified "80" by CCG Grading Company.

Hartill-22.761; FD-2443. Weight: 30.2 gms. Fou bao. "Xian Feng zhong bao"; Reverse: "Dang wushi". This wholly original looking example displays deep rich mottled brassy patina with minor earthen deposits and other debris amongst the devices and naturally rough surface texture. The rims are relatively smooth with evidence of the finishing process, though there are areas of crudeness adding a bit of character and charm to this piece.

Estimate: $ 350.00 - 500.00
