CHINA. Szechuan. Brass 100 Cash, Year 2 (1913). PCGS MS-63.
CL-SCJ.40; KM-Y-450a. Variety with large characters on the reverse. The slightly crude nature of the issue is on display with comprehensive die cracking and a slightly off center strike. Even still, this example is tied for the finest example certified by PCGS, with a state of preservation far surpassing most examples seen. The surfaces remain brassy with very little evidence of past handling. A truly handsome piece for the discerning collector of provincial coppers.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
