Hartill-22.865. Weight: 63.0 gms. "Xian Feng yuan bao"; Reverse: "Dang bai". This charming and somewhat crude survivor exhibits bold high relief calligraphy, though a few characters are a bit ill-formed and not well defined, with mostly intact naturally rough surface texture in the open areas and the rims show several edge bumps. Both the obverse and reverse display rich dark brassy patina with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices adding to its originality.
Estimate: $600.00- $800.00
