Enticing Early 50 Cents from Chihli
(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), Year 22 (1896). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Repaired, VF Details.
L&M-440; K-182; KM-Y-64; WS-0604. An EXTREMELY RARE minor denomination, and the first such instance of the type that we have had since 2011, this lightly circulated specimen does exhibit some noted repair in the fields, but also offers an elegant gunmetal gray tone and great overall detail remaining. A tremendous opportunity for the first year of issue at Chihli.

早期誘人北洋五角
光緒二十二年北洋機器局造五角銀幣。天津造幣廠。
極其罕見的小輔幣，自2011年以來，我司首次經手此版別。雖有輕微流通痕迹，且幣面帶修補，但炮銅灰色澤優雅，細節清晰，誠為難得一見之珍品。 (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. This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after the tariffs were enacted. Accordingly, any client who wishes to take delivery of this item within the United States will be subject to a 7.5% import tariff plus a processing fee of 0.3464% (minimum $31.67 / maximum $614.35). Please note, this is not, and is not intended to be, a complete description of the applicable import tariffs and buyer remains fully liable for and agrees to promptly pay all tariffs and fees relating to the import of these items into the United States and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor will have any responsibility to pay any applicable tariffs or fees. Please consult your tax adviser with any questions. Furthermore, any lots subject to an import tariff will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.

Estimate: $10000.00 - $20000.00
