臆造京局制造光绪元宝庚子当十文。CHINA. Peking. Fantasy Brass 10 Cash, "CD (1900)" (ca. early 20th Century). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-61.此枚钱币就算是臆造币，也是早期的一枚。A. M. Tracey Woodward曾言："...此精美制钱本应在北京地区发行流通，但在铸造了几版试样后，因被认为不合适而背弃用。背后原因是人们认知到若专为某市而铸的钱币获批准发行，其他各市定会纷纷要求铸造该市专属钱币。这枚钱币未通过发行审核实属我等之幸。"深棕色包浆，珍罕版别，魅力非凡。KMX-Unlisted; CCC-772; Hsu-422. If indeed this type is a fantasy, it is undoubtedly an early one, as Woodward notes that it is "...a neat coin ostensibly having been made for circulation in Peking, but which, after a few trial pieces had been minted, was discarded as unsuitable, because the fact was undoubtedly recognized that had the principle of a coin for a city been given effect, all the cities in China would have claimed the same privilege. Let us be thankful that the piece was not approved." Deep brown in hue, with some alluring brilliance peeking through. A <strong>SCARCE</strong> and charming type.
