CHINA. Brass Money Tree, ND (ca. 1875-1908).
Approximately 24 x 4 in (61 x 10 cm). C-1-16(for general type). RARE nearly complete Cash tree of Emperor Guang Xu from the Board of Revenue Mint. The tree is intact missing only one piece at the top. The rough surface is due to the fact that these trees were cast, once cooled down they would be finished and then removed. Attractive charcoal patina. Due to the size and nature of this lot, the winning bidder will pay actual cost of shipping. EXTREMELY FINE.
From an Advanced Collection of Primitive Monies.
