(t) CHINA. Qing Dynasty. Mint Error -- Double Reverse Mule -- Cash, ND (ca. 1644-61). Probably Board of Works Mint. Emperor Shi Zu. Graded "82" by Gong Bo Ping Ji Grading Company.
cf. Hartill-22.71 (for reverse type). Weight: 3.0 gms. This interesting issue displays rich mottled brassy patina with minor earthen deposits. The characters are bold and well-formed with relatively smooth surfaces. A wholesome example with a pleasing appearance. It is interesting to note that the style of the Manchu script appears to be similar to that of the Board of Works mint, but also resembles that of the later mintmark of Taiyuan, Shanxi.
Estimate: $400.00- $600.00
清代寶泉寶源合面錢。錯版幣。
重3.0克。饒有趣味的版別,點狀黃銅色包漿,輕微積土。字體深刻而飽滿,表面頗光滑。 整體賞心悅目。值得注意的是滿文字體與工部鑄幣較接近,與山西太原的鑄記亦相似。
