China: Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 CE), plaque charm, obverse showing Liu Hai and toad, reverse bat, deer, peach and spider, 65.4*2.9mm, 36.1g, Zhong Qian 85. Extremely fine, extremely rare. Note: This specimen here represents an uncommon edition. The common edition shows a flying bat at 11 o'clock on the obverse; there are two upright branches above the head of the toad such that the toad looks like a long-eared rabbit. The present specimen, however, does not host these two details and therefore constitute an uncommon edition and suggest an earlier design, to which the two details were added later..
Estimate: 4000 - 7000
