Szechuan-Shensi Soviet 500 Cash 1934 AU55 Brown NGC, KM-Y512.2, Duan-0059, CL-SWA.17, large stars by date. An exceptional example of this normally crudely produced issue. The surfaces are smooth, with cinnamon-brown toning and a few light marks. Many examples of this type have surfaces that show what appears to be pitting. This may be from bad planchets, but in any event the result is very poor eye-appeal. This piece shows none of that. Very rare in this condition.
