China
Republic gold Central Mint Tael Bar ND (1945) AU58 PCGS, Chung-King mint, L&M-1074. 32x25mm. 31.00gm. A seldom-seen issue, presenting the spade-stamp to the left and bearing three number stamps on the obverse, likely referring to, from top to bottom, the serial number, purity and weight, with two lines of inscriptions to the reverse. Lightly handled, showing antique-gold toning to the surfaces, this is only the second example we have managed to locate, the other hammering for $11,000 in April 2021.
