China
Qing Dynasty. Wen Zong (Xian Feng) 50 Cash ND (1854-1855) AU, Suzhou or other local mint (Kiangsu Province), Hartill-22.897. 54mm. 43.54gm. Unusually fine style given the typically rough nature of the sand molds, though even close examination suggests a general paucity of circulation wear. On the whole, the coin possesses all the trademarks of a high-quality specimen, its features comparatively crisp and refined with mild diagonal filing marks over the higher points of the designs.
