CHINA. Fukien. Nickel "Yuan Shih-kai" Fuzhou Shipping Bureau Medallic 10 Cents, Year 3 (1914). PCGS EF-40 Gold Shield.
Duan-3668. Weight: 2.65 gms. Obverse: Standard Yuan Shih-Kai bust, somewhat crudely engraved; Reverse: Anchor with plant beneath. A VERY RARE medal of the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, produced in the size of a silver 10 Cents. For the type, this example remains well-detailed with a trace of granularity in the planchet and no noticeable field marks. The first of its king we have offered, and considering its elusiveness, an item that could very possibly shoot past our provided estimate range.
Estimate: $1000.00- $2000.00
