Hartill-22.784; FD-2526. One dot tong variety. "Xian Feng tong bao"; Reverse: "Yi bai" (One hundred [Cash]). A nicely preserved large format issue with even wear on the high points, the surface texture of the rims is rather smooth with several shallow chopmarks as is common for these large and heavy pieces. Rich mottled patina with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices somewhat obscuring portions of the characters giving this example a nice original appearance.
