拍品描述： 民国廿五年广东省造壹仙五羊样币。PCGS评级中仅一枚更高分，获评SPECIMEN-64+，在2018年4月Q. David Bowers/R.B. White专场中以48,000美元成交。本拍品币面呈均匀棕色，光泽透现。正面可见五隻肥硕的山羊在山地吃草，外圈有回纹环绕，整体典雅不凡。反面设计较简洁经典，铸有一束稻穗，五个篆书羊字(广州又被称为羊城)环绕中央圆孔。此版在广东省主政人陈济棠支持下推出。惟在胡汉民逝世数月后，陈济棠被迫辞职并在1936年7月出走香港，导致此版未能大规模生产。陈济棠于1931年成为广东省省长，有南天王之称。虽然最后被迫下野，但仍广受民众爱戴，亦为广东省发展作出重大贡献。他尤其著重广东的城市化发展，并著力推进公共教育制度现代化，政绩之一便是为国立中山大学在石牌建设新校。广东人民称他在政期间为广东省的黄金时代。<p>(t) CHINA. Kwangtung. Five Goats Copper Cent Pattern, Year 25 (1936). Kwangtung Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-64 Brown.CL-KT.28; KM-Pn28; CCC-18. Surpassed in the PCGS census by just a single example, <em>a SPECIMEN-64+ that emanated from the Q. David Bowers/R. B. White Collection, and which realized a total of $48,000 in our April 2018 Hong Kong auction (Lot # 40216)</em>, this exceptional <strong>RARITY</strong> presents an even brown hue across its surfaces, with great lustrous brilliance abounding throughout. The obverse depicts five rather well fed goats grazing among a mountainous pass, while an elegant circular maeander border encompasses the serene scene. Meanwhile, the reverse is more simplistic in design and iconography, merely offering a stalk of rice and with the Wuyang diagram (<em>representing the Kwangtung regime</em>) surrounding the central hole. This enchanting emission was issued under the auspices of Governor Chen Chi-tang (Chen Jitang), though it never reached full production, as Chen was forced to resign his post and fled to Hong Kong in July 1936 after his biggest supporter, Hu Han-min, passed away a few months prior.<p><em>Chen became governor in 1931 and was fondly called the Celestial King of the South. Despite being forced out of his position, he was very well liked and made enormous contributions to the development of his province. He was instrumental in modernizing the cities, and also oversaw the establishment of modern public school systems, including prestigious colleges and universities like Sun Yat-sen University. The people of his province referred to this period as the Golden Age of Kwangtung.</em>
