China
Qing Dynasty. Wen Zong (Xian Feng) 50 Cash ND (1853-1855) XF, Fuzhou mint (Fukien Province), Hartill-22.782. 55mm. 100.22gm. Showing great care of execution as evidenced by the numerous filing marks over the characters and rims, the latter of which present a very squared-off appearance. Perhaps very lightly cleaning long ago, with strong night-and-day contrasts formed between the charcoal color of the surfaces and the almost brassy copper of the raised design elements.
