广东省造光绪元宝七钱二分银币。中等花(喜敦造币厂模具),龙珠有旋。非常罕见而趣味十足一枚。骤然一看与 L&M-133B 无异 -- 小花,广 及库笔划不相连。但仔细观察可见花平时的尺寸稍大而圆。与广东模具相似,均较圆润,似是喜敦厂模具的精细版。龙头下的龙珠有旋,在喜敦版与广东版中均无此特徵。综上所述,此枚或是两版之间的过渡版别,亦可能是採用了特殊的喜敦龙面模具,因此特徵有所出入。包浆迷人,无瑕品相,更添魅力。资深藏家的不二之选。(t) CHINA. Kwangtung. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1890-1908). Kwangtung Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-55.cf. L&M-133B (rosettes slightly smaller, no raised swirl on fiery pearl); K-26; KM-Y-203; cf. WS-0941 (same). Variety with medium rosettes (struck from Heaton Mint dies) and with raised swirl on fiery pearl. A very interesting and seemingly VERY RARE specimen, this crown--<em>at first glance</em>--appears simply to be L&M-133B, with the smaller rosettes and unconnected 廣 and 庫 characters, but a closer look reveals that the rosettes arent quite as small and square as normally encountered with the type. There is a slightly rounded nature reminiscent of the local Kwangtung dies, but there is seemingly still the refinement of the Heaton dies. Further, there is a raised swirl on the fiery pearl below the dragons mouth, an additional oddity that does not seem to appear on either the Heaton or locally engraved dies. As such, this specimen may serve as a transitional issue between the two, or represent a peculiar dragon side die from Heaton that simply doesnt share all of the aspects with other such examples. A great opportunity for the specialist, and with a host coin that is attractively toned and problem-free.
