Highly Auspicious "4 Bats" 5 Mace from Sinkiang
(t) CHINA. Sinkiang. 5 Mace (Miscals), ND (1910). Urumchi (Tihwa) Mint. Hsuan-t'ung (Xuantong [Puyi]). PCGS EF-45.
L&M-818; K-1017; KM-Y-6.10; WS-1294; SGSC-204. Ration coinage. Type with four bats on dragon side and with Turki legend on characters side. One of the most alluring and intriguing issues from the province, this "4 bats" issue features four very stylized bats ( an animal associated with auspiciousness, especially when included with the number "four" ), with the strike and level of preservation being rather extraordinary. A great RARITY that should no doubt generate massive interest and enthusiasm, and one that is among the better observed of the type in the PCGS census.
From the SGSC Collection.
