Beijing Shizuyinbao ("Pure Silver") Sycee of 10-1/2 Taels ND Certified AU by HuaXia, Qing Dynasty, 402g, 39x69mm, Cribb-Class XXII.A. Stamped "Shi Zu Se" (Pure Quality) and "Wan Ju Hao". A genuinely tempting representative of this much sought-after bank ingot, some minor holes in the thinner part of the upper wall and a bit of central weakness on the assay stamp the only discernable flaws, and these are rather common for the type. The surfaces otherwise appear very clean and silvery, casting bubbles relatively small, and impressed portions carry a sandy-amber patina.
