拍品描述： CHINA, Hupeh, Wuchang mint, tael, Kuang-hsü, Year 30 (1904), small characters variety, 湖北双龙一两小字。, PCGS MS62. L&M-180; Kann-933; Y-128.2; WS-0878; Wenchao-583 (rarity 1 star) (珍稀度1星); Shi Jiagan Collection-360 施嘉干旧藏-360; Chang Foundation-unl 未列出藏品。

A beautiful, wholly original example of this very rare small-characters type from a popular series struck to reform Chinese currency based on traditional weights rather than the decimalized dollar system. Significant mint luster shows through the light golden toning, while the sharply struck details make the design of two imperial dragons appear prominently. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the key rarities in Chinese numismatics.

小字版，源于当时的币制改革拟弃用"圆"，改用中国传统"两"制为单位所发行，罕见且发行时间短暂的品种。铸工出众，在美不胜收的光泽中，充盈着金色绚丽的包浆，精工细作的双龙灵动飞舞于币面之上。毋容置疑是一个获得状态上佳中国钱币珍品的难得机遇。. (PCGS #49240361)
