光绪八年吉林机器官局监造厂平壹两银币。此枚臆造打铸与吉林1884年发行的相类似。光泽充盈,繁複图文铸打锐利。设计的下缘部分色泽更是亮丽,整体别树一格。些许磨擦致未能得更高评分,但瑕不掩瑜,依然是藏家追捧的一枚。CHINA. Kirin. Fantasy Silver Tael, Year 8 (1882). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-62.cf. L&M-503 (for rough prototype); K-F914; KMX-M322; WS-1349-65. This Fantasy Tael, which was influenced by the EXTREMELY RARE official issue of 1884 (L&M-503), featuring much shimmering brilliance and a bold strike of the complex design elements. Touches of brightening toning are seen in the low lying areas of the design, with these deepening the character of the example. Limited friction likely accounts for the grade assigned, though this remains an impressive and certain to be desired example.
