CHINA. Hupeh. 10 Cash, ND (1902-05). NGC MS-65 Brown.
cf. CL-HP.23 (obverse) muled with HP.24 (reverse); KM-Y-120a.3; CCC-90. Variety with 5 rows of dragon scales and with short stroke on "hsu". This lovely Gem boasts silky smooth chocolate brown surfaces with hints of original mint red amongst the devices. The central devices are bold, though the outer legends do have areas of weakness due to the obverse die cuds indicating that it is near the end of its usefulness and adding a bit of character to this piece.
Estimate: $700 - $900
