福建民国三至四年福州船务局壹角镍章。错版币。两款反面的混配。饶有趣味，极罕的半金属发行，本是用作替代当时正流通的贰角。其他我司曾经手的同版为银铸，且多为粗打，混配模仿袁世凯系列的正面。此枚均匀灰色包浆，底板深处依然光泽充盈。(t) CHINA. Fukien. Fuzhou Shipping Bureau Nickel Medallic 20 Cents, ND (ca. 1914-15). Fukien Mint. PCGS MS-63.cf. Duan-3666 (for 10 Cent mule). Diameter: 24mm. Seemingly a mule issue of two reverses, this interesting and EXTREMELY RARE semi-medallic issue appears to be struck as the rough equivalent of the circulating 20 Cents issue of the time. Other examples in our past sales have been struck in silver, to a much cruder standard, with this anchor design paired with an obverse mimicking that of the Yuan Shih-kai series. The present piece yields an even gray hue with much in the way of enchanting brilliance residing in the protected areas.
