CHINA. Hong Kong. Tak Cheong Bank. Gold Tael Ingot, ND (ca. 1950s). UNCIRCULATED.
Weight: 37.55 gms. Stamps on the obverse feature a piece of spade money surrounded by numerous characters, as well as the weight in taels (1[.]000), while the reverse features a large stamp with characters and referencing the TAK CHEONe (sic) / FINE 990 / HONG KONG. This piece is interesting in that it appears that a large "e" was erroneously utilized in place of a "G" in the bank's name. Quite alluring and brilliant.
