(t) CHINA. Hunan. Copper 10 Cash Pattern, ND (1902). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS SPECIMEN-58.
CL-HUN.93; KM-Pn5; CCC-191; Duan-700. A seldom encountered Pattern, with this being our first offering of the type since our April 2021 Hong Kong Auction. One of the more aesthetically pleasing 10 Cash pieces produced, this specimen features a stylized and very intricate dragon and crisp and well-formed calligraphy. The specially struck surfaces provide a wonderful canvas for the artful design to play out upon, with a soft oaken color present throughout. Escaping all but the lightest of marking, this piece provides tremendous attractivity, despite being lightly worn on the highest elements of the design. An impressive issue that belongs in any premium collection of Cash coinage.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
