Hartill-22.715. Diameter: 60.1mm; Weight: 71.0 gms. Obverse: "Xian Feng yuan bao;" Reverse: "Dang qian." The naturally rough surfaces are somewhat smooth in a few areas from wear, but still retain their natural texture. Minor earthen deposits are noted amongst the devices and crevasses. Overall a decent example with attractive red-brown surfaces, though some scattered abrasions and light marks are noted.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
