Ancient Chinese Coins

(t) CHINA. Qing Dynasty. Fujian. 20 Cash, ND (ca. 1853-55). Fuzhou Mint. Wen Zong (Xian Feng). Graded "78" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.

Hartill-22.781; FD-2517. Weight: 35.4 gms. One dot tong. "Xian Feng tong bao"; Reverse: "Er shi". This decently preserved example displays slightly crude characteristics with somewhat ill-formed calligraphy and light tasteful smoothing in open areas appearing to leave the majority of the naturally rough surface texture intact with light dusty earthen deposits accentuate the devices. The high points show even wear with insignificant edge bruises noted for accuracy with a slight roughness on the rims adding to its originality.

Estimate: $ 200.00 - 300.00

咸豐通寶 寶福二十。

重：35.4克，單點通。正面："咸豐通寶"，背面："二十"。鑄打稍粗，字體不甚規整，底板輕微打磨痕跡，自然粗糙表面大體保留完好，圖文間雜少許積土。高點呈現均勻磨損，邊緣稍有粗製和小崩，更添原汁原味。
