(t) CHINA. Copper 10 Cash Pattern, ND (1913). NGC Unc Details--Obverse Damage.

CL-MG.64; CCC-690; W-972 (B-2); KM-Pn5; Hsu-13; Duan-3097. See Ros #23/24 p.127, Ros didn't mention the actual date, but can be identified as the time of Vice-Present Li's departure for Peking (Dec. 1913). A beautifully struck pattern with glossy, smooth surfaces and a milk chocolate to mahogany patina, broken only by a faintly lighter streak across the obverse. The beauty of this piece is interrupted only by a small attempted hole punched near the rim at 12 o'clock on the obverse, with no damage to the reverse in this position. VERY RARE and a very important addition to the collection of the pattern specialist.

Ex: Wa She Wong Collection.

Estimate: $60000.00 - $80000.00

袁世凱像共和紀念十文銅樣幣。

羅斯並未註明日期，但可以由黎元洪赴北京就任副總統時間為1913年12月來推算製作年度。鑄打精美，幣面光滑油亮，巧克力棕色至紅木色包漿，正面有一輕微淺色條紋。正面近 12 點邊緣有試圖打孔留下的痕跡，並無損及反面。 非常罕見 ，樣幣系列中舉足輕重的一枚。
