山西省丰盛炉镜宝伍拾两银锭。 (t) CHINA. Shanxi Jingbao. Provincial Mirror Ingots. Silver 50 Tael Local Tax Ingot, ND (ca. 1820-50). Emperor Xuan Zong (Dao Guang). Graded "AU 50" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company. 重1838.4克。"道光年月"、"__ 咸 __ __"、"丰盛炉"。大规格银锭，点状灰色包浆，缝隙轻微积土。年份与工匠戳记深打，但皇帝称号稍为模糊。县名戳记稍有不清，难以辨认。左外侧有额外戳记"国 __"，含义不明。仔细检查可见面上有老旧纤细刮痕，现已不明显。原始而悦目的一枚大型银锭。 BMC-Class I Group A. Weight: 1838.4 gms. "道光年月" (Daoguang Year Month), "__ 咸 __ __"(__ county __ __), "豐盛爐" (Name: Feng Shenglu). This handsome large format ingot displays attractive rich mottled patina with minor earthen deposits in the crevasses. The era and smith stamps are deeply impressed, though the emperors name is somewhat obscured. The county stamp is muddled with portions of the characters difficult to decipher. There is an additional stamp on the left outer side "国 __" with an unknown meaning mentioned for accuracy. Close inspection of the face reveals thin light scratches from long ago, now slightly subdued. A pleasing and original looking large ingot with good eye appeal.
