拍品描述： 广东省造光绪元宝三钱六分五釐银币。图文雕刻锐利精美，无愧于喜敦造币厂的高超工艺。广东省首批作品，亦被称为七三反版。令人惊叹的品相。虽然包浆顔色存疑，但未流通状态展现出深峻精细的图文。整体色深，犹见璀璨底光。此极罕版别得名于其重量七钱三分，发行不久便迅速被七钱二分取替，后者更为常见。称其反版则是因为龙面铭文全为中文，而带帝号的字面却被英文铭文环绕。此设计不但重量有出入，就连图文搭配亦有不当之处。<p>(t) CHINA. Kwangtung. 3 Mace 6-1/2 Candareens (50 Cents - 1/2 Dollar), ND (1889). Kwangtung Mint (struck from Heaton Mint dies). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Questionable Color, Unc Details.L&M-124; K-17; KM-Y-197; WS-0932; Wenchao-553 (rarity: ★★★). Displaying the ever-enticing and crisply engraved characters and design elements that make it an undoubted product of the Heaton Mints refinement, this minor, <em>emanating from Kwangtungs initial output and known as the Seven Three Reversed series</em>, offers an impeccable appearance. Save for its designation that questions its color, this otherwise uncirculated specimen radiates with boldness and precision, with a deep nature to the overall color and great lustrous brilliance residing below. The name of this <strong>VERY RARE</strong> and important series emanates from the fact that the unit, or Dollar, was issued to the weight of 7 Mace 3 Candareens, rather than the weight that would quickly supplant it, that of the much more common 7 and 2. The reversed nature of the name comes from the fact that the outer legend on the dragon side was composed solely of Chinese characters, leaving the characters side--<em>that bearing the name of the emperor at the center</em>--surrounded entirely by English legends. This aspect was found unsuitable, causing not just a departure from the weight standard, but the overall composition of the design as well.
