CHINA. Ming Dynasty. 10 Cash, ND (1361-68). Peking Mint. Emperor Tai Zu (Hong Wu) as the Prince of Wu. NEARLY VERY FINE.

Hartill-20.49. Diameter: 44mm; Weight: 24.17 gms. Obverse: "Da Zhong tong bao;" Reverse: "Bei Ping" above, "Shi" to left. Issued while the future emperor was still styled as the Prince of Wu, this charming specimen presents olive-green color on the rims and characters, and a bit darker nature in the recesses. Quite attractive for the type.

Estimate: $500.00 - $700.00
