刘海戏蟾牛首挂牌花钱,背福禄寿喜,清朝(公元1644–1911),65.4*2.9mm,36.1g,中乾85。品相极美,罕见。另:该品为伏牛挂牌形花钱之异版。通常所见之牌,面十一点处有一飞蝠,刘海所戏之金蟾有长耳一双,状态如兔,而布氏所藏此处留白,画面简洁,可能为此式挂花之早期版。 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.
