CHINA. Szechuan. 5 Cash, Year 1 (1912). PCGS EF-45.
CL-SCJ.01; KM-Y-441. Variety with lion head facing downward. An exceptionally impressive example of a RARE type that provides a rich and deep chocolate brown hue and nice, lightly handled devices. Some streaks within the planchet are noted, though these do not much detract from the eye appeal of this piece. Certain to command premium attention and, as a result, premium bids.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
