拍品描述： 民国十五年山东省贰拾圆金样币。天津造币厂制。珍稀度 ★★★★。世上总有些钱币之美难以笔墨形容，但震撼人心。此枚山东金样币无论是美观还是重要性均难逢敌手，可说是所有省造币中最为罕见之一。耿爱德认为此版工艺远超山东省造币厂的技术，应是铸于天津造币厂，数量极其稀少。此版由张宗昌颁令铸造。铸打有力深峻，宛如新铸。原厂模具线条为币面增添特色。光泽明亮，全无留痕或接触痕迹。底板折射镜光，熠熠生辉，极为悦目。就连 NGC 都为其添上星评级，更证其美。NGC 及 PCGS 评鑑中均无对手，高踞榜首。值得重点关注的一枚，位属最顶尖的集藏。

CHINA. Shantung. Gold 20 Dollars Pattern, Year 15 (1926). Tientsin Mint. NGC MS-66★.L&M-1065; Fr-6; K-1535; KM-Pn9; WS-1102; Hsu-30; Wenchao-46 (rarity: ★★★★). There are some coins that simply escape description by language and touch a place of sentimentality and wonderment in the hearts of every collector. To this list is the present Shantung Gold Pattern, offering a beauty and importance that is seldom encountered. Amongst the RAREST of all provincial coinage, Kann relays that this issue was likely produced in extremely limited quantities at the Tientsin Mint, given the production quality far exceeds what would have been technically feasible at the Shantung Provincial Mint. Produced at the order of Zhang Zhongchang, perhaps the basest of all the Chinese warlords. This example delivers a rich and robust strike, with an essentially as made appearance. The bright luster is entirely uninterrupted by mark or contact, with the as made die lines being the major feature of note on the surfaces. The shimmering luster provides a mirrored reflectivity, offering a supreme eye appeal that is confirmed by the NGC star designation. No example of this type has been certified as finer by either NGC or PCGS, highlighting the truly special state of preservation of this example. A piece that is deserved of the most exultant attention, and one that is destined for the finest of numismatic collections.
