Demonstrating surfaces of mottled olive gray and the Manchu script nicely accented by a backdrop of pitch hued patina, this appealing, mid range piece from a SCARCE issuance of provincial dollars is bound to draw material interest for its originality. An great piece for many collectors who look to complete a set of circulated examples from the time period.
