Description

(t) CHINA. Sinkiang. 5 Mace (Miscals), ND (1910). PCGS Genuine--Repaired, EF Details.

L&M-818; K-1017; KM-Y-6.10; Wenchao-pg. 257#343 (rarity 3 stars). Variety with four auspicious bats around the dragon. An ever-popular type, this issue seldom appears on the market and is always a collector favorite. The strike is better than normally encountered with honest wear, there is a slight weakness on the reverse at "錢" with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices and a hint of tone. Close inspection reveals evidence smoothing in the fields and around the device's accounts for the detail's designation. Despite its shortcomings this desirable piece is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.

Estimate: $3500.00 - $5000.00

新疆餉銀五錢四蝠。

珍稀度☆☆☆。四隻吉祥蝙蝠圍繞龍身。備受歡迎,鮮少面市,收藏家的鐘情之作。鑄打較常見為佳,背面"錢"字見弱打。在圖文間有少量的積土及淡淡的包漿。仔細檢查會發現底板及圖文附近周圍有修平痕跡,致得此評分。瑕不掩瑜,此幣精緻悅目,定為集藏添彩。
