清代状元及弟一品当朝花钱。 (t) CHINA. Qing Dynasty. "Imperial Examination of the Highest Rank" Charm, ND (ca. 19th Century). Graded "85" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company. 重22.0克。正面为“一品当朝状元及第”，背“福”，下方有花。黄铜色包浆斑驳，局部色泽较浓郁，底板有些许红色。图文深峻，底板大致保留原始粗糙质感，空白位置因经手而稍显光滑。品相甚佳，赏心悦目。 Weight: 22.0 gms. Obverse: "Zhuang yuan ji di Yi pin dang chao"; Reverse: "Fu" above; below, flowers. This handsome example displays attractive mottled brassy patina with richer coloration and red pigment in the fields. The devices are bold and the surfaces retain much of their naturally rough surface texture, though the exposed areas are a bit smoother due to handling. A pleasing representative of the type with good eye appeal.
