(t) CHINA. Bronze Cash Trial Strike, ND (ca. 1897). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58.
KM-TS1; cf. Duan-3912; cf. Hsu-3. Variety without central hole. Produced by the Ferracute company in New Jersey. An interesting trial strike, and certain to intrigue even the most advanced of Cash collectors on account of the RARITY of the type. The characters are well formed and struck, and the surfaces still provide an olive-brassy brightness to it. Our first offering from this series since our last April Hong Kong auction, highlighting how elusive these types can be.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
