Description

Empire General Issues

(t) CHINA. Mint Error -- Full Brockage Obverse -- 20 Cash, ND (1903). PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, EF Details Gold Shield.

cf. CL-HB.09; KM-Y-5a; CCC-595; Duan-2422. Part of a remarkable group of errors on Chinese coppers we are offering in this sale. The attribution to CL-HB.09 is, of course, tentative as the dragon is missing. Traces of pitting and verdigris on the character side. Well used and colored chocolate brown. That this error and the others in this group are well circulated shows how little attention was paid to the fabric of the coins used every day.

Estimate: $ 100.00 - 200.00

戶部光緒元寶當制錢二十文。錯版。

本次上拍一組中國錯版銅幣中的一枚。因龍圖缺失,CL-HB.09參考編號為揣測。字面可見點蝕及銅鏽。經流通,巧克力棕色包漿。此枚錯版幣與此組其他錯版幣一樣經長時間流通,證明日程使用中,錢幣的工藝經常遭忽略。
