JAPAN. Oban (10 Ryo), ND Kyoho Era (ca. 1725-1837). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, Unc Details Gold Shield.
Fr-5; JNDA-09-8 (4A); Bank of Japan-Vol. 3-Unlisted; JV-A5; Hartill-8.11; KM-C-24.1; ANS-0000.999.26505; BMC-1862,0616.2. Weight: 165.69 gms. 153.92 x 94.91 mm. Mintage: 8,515. Security edge. This attractive and nicely preserved survivor exhibits a pleasing appearance with light signs of handling. The upper and lower obverse Kiri crest stamps and control marks on the reverse are bold and well defined while the left, right and reverse stamps are all slightly uneven with varying degrees of flatness. The hammer marks are relatively even creating the typical textured surfaces. The signature though virtually complete with minor ink loss appears to have been officially re-inked at the mint exhibiting an identical style, brush strokes and nuances found on the later Tempo era Obans. This handsome example displays a pale golden collar with light mottled orange patina on both sides adding to its eye appeal and desirability sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
From the Pinnacle Collection.
Estimate: $20000.00- $30000.00
