CHINA. Sinkiang. 10 Cash, ND (1909). PCGS AU-58.
CL-XJ.06; KM-Y-2.1. Far more attractive and better struck than most examples of the type, this wholesome, barely handled specimen features deep brown surfaces with some hints of cobalt and luster shimmering throughout. For completeness, a few typical planchet flaws are noted but not at all distracting. Compare to the Bowers/White piece--also a PCGS AU-58--that realized a total of $3,120 in our April 2018 Hong Kong auction (lot 40228).
From the Hobart Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
