Kwangsi-Kwangsea. Kuang-hsü Pattern "KWANG-HSI" 10 Cash ND (1905) AU55 Brown NGC, KM-Pn1, Q&P-KH.01. An extremely rare pattern issue of this province, lightly circulated with even wear throughout but few surface marks that are individually noticeable without the aid of a glass. The obverse retains just a hint of faint residual luster yielding a somewhat brindled effect, while the reverse is an appealing chocolate brown disturbed in just a few places by a darker surface patination. Missing from most major collections of Chinese copper coinage, the acquisition of such a rarity will be a coup for the serious enthusiast.
