(t) CHINA. Qing Dynasty. Fujian. 20 Cash, ND (ca. 1853-55). Fuzhou Mint. Wen Zong (Xian Feng). Graded "78" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.
Hartill-22.781; FD-2517. Weight: 35.4 gms. One dot tong. "Xian Feng tong bao"; Reverse: "Er shi". This decently preserved example displays slightly crude characteristics with somewhat ill-formed calligraphy and light tasteful smoothing in open areas appearing to leave the majority of the naturally rough surface texture intact with light dusty earthen deposits accentuate the devices. The high points show even wear with insignificant edge bruises noted for accuracy with a slight roughness on the rims adding to its originality.
Estimate: $200.00- $300.00
