CHINA. Kiangsu. 10 Cash, ND (1902). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-64 Brown.
CL-KS.07; KM-Y-162.1; CCC-236. Variety with Manchu center, rosettes on characters side, and 8 tailed-dragon. A bright and impressive near-Gem, this beautiful example delivers a sharp strike that far exceeds what one would expect for this style 10 Cash. Much red brilliance is retained, despite the "brown" designation that PCGS has applied. A lovely example that is certain to appeal to any collector of Cash coinage.
From the Kenneth Bressett Collection.
Estimate: $600 - $900
