CHINA. 10 Tael Gold Ingot, ND (ca. 1750's).
365.25 gms. Typical shape with raised ends and a ripple pattern on face. Three stamps across face identical to those found on ingots from the wreck of the VOC East-Indian Geldermalsen. There are two additional stamps on the base of the ingot as well as a western character serial number which seems to have been applied, if not at the time of casting, than soon after. At two points on the base and one point on the face are modern test drill marks. A few scattered flecks of encrustation.
十兩金條。
365.25 g。標準形式。表面有三個戳印，與東印度公司沉船中發現的相同。底部還有兩只戳記，另有西方文字及編號，如果不是鑄造當時打的，也是隨後加上的。底部有兩處、上部有一處是近代鑽孔驗成色所為。有零星的皮殼。 EXTREMELY FINE.
Ex: St. James' auction, Nov. 2011 where it realized $22,106.
