The "Flying Dragon" of Kiangsi
(t) CHINA. Kiangsi. 10 Cash, ND (1902). Nanchang Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS VF-30.
CL-KSI.17; KM-Y-154. Variety with large top characters. Displaying the flying dragon, a vastly different dragon type than the rest of the province's output for the denomination, this circulated yet eminently wholesome specimen presents even red-brown surfaces that remain free from issue. Somewhat darker around the devices, this VERY RARE example should generate massive interest and appeal among the advanced collectors of the copper series, as this represents the first such instance of the type in one of our sales since the Q. David Bowers/R. B. White piece--a PCGS VF-25 that realized a total of $14,400 in our April 2018 Hong Kong Auction (Lot # 40180).

江西省造光緒元寶庫平當十銅元。南昌造幣廠。
頂部大字版。飛龍設計，與同省同面值的龍圖大相徑庭。經流通但品相完好。幣面無瑕，呈均勻的紅棕色，圖文周遭較深色。是我們自2018年4月香港拍賣Q. David Bowers/R.B. White舊藏（編號40180）以來首度呈獻，當時獲評PCGS VF-25的一枚以14,400美元成交。此枚必定成為萬眾焦點。 (t) On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes.
