正面:“咸丰六年、上海县号、商经正记、足纹银饼”,背面:“朱源裕监、倾曹平实、重壹两银、匠丰年造”。罕见版别,上次经手为2022年香港拍卖。动人细节,币面锐利。清洗不多,无碍品相。罕见,收藏家不懈追求,千载难逢的机会。L&M-590; K-903; WS-1123.
Obverse: "Cake (of) standard silver (from the) business firm (of) Chin Cheng Chee (in the) Shanghai district (in the) 6th year (of Emperor) Hsien Feng [1856];" Reverse: "Made (by) Feng Nien, silversmith; Supervised (by) Chow Yuen Yu. Exact weight one Tsaoping Tael." A <strong>RARE </strong>type that is almost never encountered, with our last offering of this type being in our October 2020 Hong Kong sale. This piece is quite lovely, with good details that are crisply and clearly applied to the surfaces. The noted cleaning is not so aggressive nor disfiguring to detract much from the general beauty of the piece. An example that seldom appears, leaving this piece the example that should be much sought for be collectors, as the next appearance of this Tael might be years from now.
