拍品描述： 浙江省造光绪元宝当十铜元。错版。标准双龙版已属罕见，此枚实属极为罕见。是地方发行的十文中最稀有的版别之一。虽然颇违反常理，但此枚的正面和反面使用相同模具。Woodward 认为这绝对是戏铸币，其主张亦不无道理。自开业以来我们仅见过四枚混配，上次经手为 2018 年 4 月香港拍卖，该枚为 Q. David Bowers 集藏的铜镍币。本拍品以黄铜铸造，细节深刻，经手痕迹极少。令人一见难忘，群雄竞逐的一枚，CHINA. Chekiang. Mint Error -- Double Dragon Mule -- 10 Cash, ND (1903-06). Hangchow Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC AU-55.CL-ZJ.45; CCC-464; Woodward-126. An EXTREMELY RARE type, even by double dragon standards, this piece offers one of the most elusive of provincial 10 Cash coins ever produced. Somewhat counterintuitively, this example is struck with the same die for both obverse and reverse, giving credence to the assertion of Woodward when he proclaims it undoubtedly the result of mint sport. We have only discovered four examples of this mule combination trading, with the last sale occurring as lot 40094 in our April 2018 Hong Kong sale, a copper-nickel specimen that formed a portion of the Q. David Bowers Collection. This specimen is an example struck in brass, and delivers strong details and only limited instances of handling. A most impressive example, and one for which we expect strong competition for.
