CHINA. Szechuan. 50 Cash Pattern or Mother Coin, ND (1854-55). Board of Works Mint. BOLD VERY FINE.
45 mm; 34.92 gms. H-22.760. New branch. We believe this to be the mother coin or pattern from which all other molds of the type were created. The quality of manufacture, the boldness of the characters, and the degree of preservation all point towards this conclusion. A coin which advanced collectors will likely find extremely desirable. BOLD VERY FINE.
Estimate: $700.00- $1000.00
