CHINA. Hupeh. 20 Cash, ND (ca. 1914). PCGS VF-35 Secure Holder.
KM-A405; Duan-2277(2011 edition); CL-Unlisted; CCC-Unlisted. Struck in copper. EXTREMELY RARE with few examples known. According to the Krause book, the attribution of this piece to Hupeh is uncertain. It was likely struck in Szechuan for use in Hupeh. However, according to Duan these were issued as substitute currency. Very interesting and deserving of further in depth research. Far nicer than the example that we sold in out August 2017 Hong Kong auction, Lot # 60243 which was quite worn. Good strike with moderate signs of circulation and deep patina. PCGS VF-35 Secure Holder.
From the Q. David Bowers Collection.
