臆造光绪八年吉林机器官局监造厂平半两银币。非常罕见的臆造辅币。发行于光绪帝登基初期，现代化的图文设计及字体与其时代背景格格不入。包浆顔色颇深，两面均见琥珀与紫罗兰色。<p>(t) CHINA. Kirin. Fantasy Silver 1/2 Tael, Year 8 (1882). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.cf. L&M-505 (for rough prototype); K-B30; KMX-M321; cf. WS-1349-65 (fantasy Tael). A <strong>VERY RARE</strong> example of a fantasy minor, this type offers an anachronistic flair, as its ultra-modern iconographic and calligraphic nature nevertheless channels a series issued during the first decade of the reign of the Kuang-hsu Emperor. Rather deeply toned, with an intense amber-violet aspect noted upon each side.
