Description

CHINA. Yunnan. 5 Dollars, ND (1925). NGC Unc Details--Reverse Tooled.

L&M-1060; Fr-14; K-1529; Hsu-22; WS-0655. Struck using dies with heavy polish lines, with additional hairlines from a light cleaning. The fields around the characters on the non-wreath side appear to have been smoothed a bit, whence the tooling designation thus emanates. Nevertheless, an EXTREMELY RARE and seemingly never encountered type with a fabled past, having been a military issue struck under the auspices of General Fan Shi-sheng during his skirmishes against Tang Ji-yao.

Estimate: $5000.00 - $10000.00

雲南"滇"字伍圓金幣。

使用帶有粗拋光線的模具進行鑄打,輕微清洗留下髮絲痕。沒有禾穗的一側字符周圍的區域似乎曾經修平,致被標工具痕跡。儘管如此, 非常罕見 且歷史意味濃厚,在與唐繼堯的小規模戰鬥中,范世升將軍下令鑄造的一枚錢幣。
