拍品描述： 四川省造光绪元宝二十文铜样币。ZE下有三尖火焰。极罕见的样币版，龙图的三尖火焰与其他版别不同。PCGS评分中数一数二的一枚，红棕色泽浓郁，仅若干轻微留痕。铸打锐利，巧夺天工，似是外国工艺。并非为流通而铸，资深中国铜币藏家不容错过。<p>(t) CHINA. Szechuan. Copper 20 Cash Pattern, ND (1903-05). Uncertain Mint, likely in Germany. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-61 Brown.CL-SC.77A; KM-Y-230.3; CCC-392. Variety with trident flame below ZE. An <strong>EXTREMELY RARE</strong> pattern issue featuring a differing dragon whose trident flame points in a dissimilar manner to the others, this represents the finest of just a few of the type that have been seen at PCGS, with an alluringly rich red-brown hue and only a few lightly scattered marks. The strike is sharp and well produced, indicative of its likely foreign origin. A tremendous opportunity for the advanced collector of Chinese coppers--<em>especially those that were never intended for circulation purposes.</em>
