Qing Dynasty. Yunnan Liangchuo Paifangding ("Two-Stamp Tablet") Sycee of 10 Taels ND (19th Century), Opitz-pg. 329 (this piece illustrated), Cribb-Class LXXII.B. 47x40mm. 366.56gm. The right stamp reads: "Bao Xiang Jing" (Baoxiang [salt] wells), the left stamp reads: "Jiang Yang Wan" (Smith Yang Wan). An extremely rare salt tax ingot, beautifully preserved with rich graphite color. We note that a similar piece from the same salt wells, though in inferior condition, brought $8,000 in Stack's August 2017 Hong Kong Auction (Lot 60071). The base displays a small inventory sticker from Mr. Opitz's collection.
This lot has not yet been assigned a grade, as it will be submitted to Gongbo for certification before the auction.
