(t) CHINA. Yunnan Sanchuo Jieding. Provincial Three Stamp Remittance Ingots. Silver 4.75 Bank Ingot, ND. Graded AU-55 by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.
cf. BMC-Class LXVI Group I # 837. Weight: 174.5 gms. "Zhu Yu Yuan Hao Hui Hao Wen Yin" (Zhuyuyuan Bank, remittance bank fine silver), "Guan Gong Gu She Kan Qi" (Checked by official public assayer She), "Guan Gong Gu Tong Kan Qi" (Checked by official public assayer Tong). The central and outer stamps are deeply impressed with bold well-formed characters, though the central stamp does have a small natural void that somewhat obscures a couple of the characters. The assay stamps are well applied with most of the characters clear and easily read. This richly toned example is pleasing to the eye with plenty of original luster in the outer stamps and minor earthen deposits amongst the devices adding to its pleasing appearance.
Estimate: $1500 - $2000
