拍品描述： 一九三五年中华苏维埃共和国五年制壹圆银币。(t) CHINA. North Shensi Soviet. Dollar, Year 5 (1935). Uncertain Mint. NGC VF-30.

陝北省苏维埃银币，陝北省苏维埃政府于1935年铸行，正面中央是壹圆，币值两侧辅以穀穗，周边上环是""中华苏维埃""，下环是""共和国五年制""六字，反面正中有镰刀、斧头，周边是""全世界无产阶级反被压迫民族联合起来""十七字。此枚铸于1934-35年间红军长征抵达陝北前后，存世寥若星辰，珍罕之至。1935年后随著红军的转移和撤离，苏区苏维埃银币逐步停止铸行，当红军一撤走，国民党意图没收红军白银，红军被迫改用纸币，仅以白银作为储备。

与其他以西曆作纪年的苏维埃银元不同，此枚採用中华苏维埃共和国纪年（五年）。诚然，铸造略显粗糙，字体稍为随意，艺术性稍逊，此乃当时条件所限。然其整体品相极佳，仅有少许磕碰和磨损，炮铜色包浆迷人，图文间色泽更深，更显层次分明。此版式我司尚属首次经手，其品相之高，亦属罕见。对于任何一位资深中国苏维埃银元或中国近代银元藏家而言，此枚都是不可或缺的镇库之宝。出自KL集藏系列。L&M-892; K-Unlisted; KM-2; WS-1345 (this coin illustrated).

An incredible specimen of <strong>IMMENSE RARITY</strong>, this example emanates from the final soviet issues around the time of Maos Long March into North Shensi in 1934-35. No sooner did the Red Army reach refuge in the north than the Kuomintang sought to nationalize the formers silver. As such, the former switched to paper and retained silver for its reserves. Differing from many of the other Soviet issues, which represented the western date through characters, this type instead dates to an era year. However, the era is that of the Chinese Soviet Republic (year 5) and not the Chinese Republic.

Some striking weakness, <em>a very common aspect to these utilitarianly produced issues, </em>is evident, along with a degree of expediency with respect to character formation and a lack of artistry, but the overall state of preservation is rather astonishing, with a minimum of scattered bruises and subtle abrasions, and charming gunmetal gray tone that intensifies around the characters and devices. The first example of the type that we have had the privilege of offering, and no doubt one of the finest of the type that one could ever hope to encounter. An iconic, keystone piece for any advanced collection of the Chinese Soviet series, or the vintage Chinese series more broadly.From the KL Collection.
