cf. BMC-Class XXXIII. Weight: 31.1 gms. Obverse: "Shi Zu Cai Jin", "Tian Jin Tian Bao", "Shi Zu Cai Jin"; Reverse: "Jia Liang Jin Mi". The stamps are bold with most of the strokes of the characters clear, though a bit of unevenness and natural voids caused several portions of the calligraphy to be slightly obscured. A pale gold coloration with original brilliance offers a pleasing appearance to this handsome little ingot.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
