上海半个麵包代价币。 CHINA. Shanghai. Hall & Holtz, Ltd. Copper-Nickel 1/2 Loaf Merchant Token, ND (1900-25). NGC MS-61. 饶有趣味的商户代币，可持此币于该烘焙坊换领半个麵包。光泽强劲，经手痕迹极少。福利公司(Hall and Holtz)建于二十世纪初，位于上海南京路及四川路交界，作为烘焙坊开业。其后发展为大型百货公司，专售入口中国的洋货。大楼一直屹立至1936年，可説是上海的地标。1936年大楼被拆除，并在原址建筑迦陵大楼，至今仍用作办公大楼。 Prid-329. A most interesting merchant token, this piece would have entitled the holder to half a loaf of bread at their bakery. A piece that is well preserved with strong luster and limited signs of handling. <p><strong><em></em></strong><em>Hall and Holtz was built at the beginning of the 20th Century on the corner of Nanking and Szechuan roads in Shanghai and opened as a bakery. The store soon developed into a large department store specializing in many western goods that were imported into China. The building stood until 1936, by which time it had developed into somewhat of a Shanghai landmark. The building was demolished in 1936 and in its place the Liza Hardoon Building was erected, where it still stands today as an office building. </em>
