CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 10 Cash, ND (1906). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-65 Red Brown.
CL-BY.04; KM-Y-67; CCC-301. Variety with square mouthed dragon and hole in center of rosettes. A stunning Gem example, this handsome 10 Cash delivers quality far beyond what would normally be encountered on the type. The strike is full and leaves no details wanting, an elusive trait for provincial Cash. Much original mint red is retained on the surfaces, with a sparkling luster that avoids marking or friction. An impressive specimen and one that is destined for the finest of numismatic cabinets, as it is the sole finest graded example of the type certified by PCGS, and is unsurpassed by any of the other Chihli 10 Cash from 1906 yet seen by PCGS.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
