CHINA. Kiau Chau. 5 Cents, 1909. NGC PROOF-67.
K-873; KM-Y-1; Hsu-39. Featuring hard mirror surfaces and frosted devices. A highly attractive offering, EXTREMELY RARE in this exceptional quality. According to Kann, the Kiau Chau 5 and 10 Cents entered circulation in October of 1909. Although this issue was met with acceptance, it remained short lived. The German involvement in World War I found the port of Kiau Chau under British and Japanese siege on August 27th, 1914, and ended on November 7th and Kiau Chau remained under Japanese control until returned to China in 1922. Hard mirror surfaces with frosted devices. Highly attractive.
Ex: Virgil Brand Collection.
Estimate: $6000.00- $8000.00

1909年大德國寶伍分。柏林造幣廠。
鏡面底板，霜化圖文。極罕，品相極佳。 根據耿愛德，大德國寶伍分及壹角於1909年十月進入流通。儘管被人接受，但是流通時間極短。1914年8月27日，膠州灣遭到英國和日本的圍攻，於同年11月7日被攻陷，之後膠州一直在日本控制內，直到1922年被歸還中國。鏡面底板，霜化圖文，非常誘人。 On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items manufactured in China.
