拍品描述： 民国十年徐世昌像纪念银币。天津造币厂。徐世昌仁寿同登纪念。 铸压制作精良，底板光泽充盈，环形及亭台内几抹包浆，热衰程度历久不衰的一枚，高评难得。深受喜爱的版别，早前被认为是样币，但实际上应是纪念章，计划于北京协和医学堂开幕之时送出。凉亭下的空白处意欲雕刻受赠人姓名，但后来因制作困难而改为两花之间有纪念币三字。<p>CHINA. Dollar, Year 10 (1921). Tientsin Mint. PCGS MS-63.L&M-864; K-676; WS-0101; Chang-CH234. Variety with reeded edge and with legend at bottom of reverse. A highly desirable type that features the bust of Hsu Shih-chang (Xu Shichang), then-president of the Republic of China, this specimen radiates with a crisp and exacting strike, fields that are supremely lustrous and glossy, and some subtle tinges of toning present only at the peripheries and within the pavilion on the reverse. A stunning exemplar that will no doubt generate massive interest and appeal, and a true <strong>RARITY</strong> at such an elite level of preservation.<p><em>An incredibly popular and desirable type believed to have been a pattern issue, it now appears that these were, in fact, more medallic in nature, and meant to be given out upon the opening of the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC), the facade of which is displayed upon the reverse. Initially designed with a blank field below the pavilion for the intended recipients name to be engraved, the reverse was altered slightly to contain the characters 紀念幣 between two rosettes, as the engraving proved difficult on the initial batch.</em><strong>To view all items from the Nine Dragons Collection, click <a href=https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&limit=96&search=From+the+Nine+Dragons+Collection.&lots_range=upcoming> here.</a></strong>From the Nine Dragons Collection.
