拍品描述： 民国十五年山东省拾圆金样币。天津铸币厂制。(t) CHINA. Shantung. Gold 10 Dollars Pattern, Year 15 (1926). Tientsin Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-64+.极为罕见而且意义重大的一版样币，是地方发行与民国系列的划分线。发行于山东省，性质与同年的龙凤国徽版相似。光芒闪烁，无比接近Gem状态。金橙色泽，图文些许霜化，PCGS评级中仅两枚更高分。我们曾在2023年10月香港拍卖中以444,000美元拍出一枚NGC MS-65。此枚与尺寸较大的贰拾圆属同一系列，由别名狗肉将军的张宗昌发行。张宗昌热爱打牌九，而打牌九被俗称为吃狗肉，因此暱称为狗肉将军。除此以外，张宗昌还有三不知的绰号：不知钱有多少、不知有多少兵、不知有多少姨太太（因不知她们的姓名，张宗昌用号码来称呼各姨太）。与其风流韵事相关的别名还有72炮张、三条腿将军 、老八十六（指86枚墨西哥银元叠起的高度）。(t)This lot was manufactured in China (including Hong Kong), Russia or Republic of Belarus and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after tariffs were enacted by the United States. Accordingly, any client who wishes to take delivery of this item within the United States will be subject to a 27.5% import tariff for China manufactured items, and a 35% import tariff for Russia or Belarus manufactured items. In addition a processing fee of 0.3464% (minimum $31.67 / maximum $634.62) will apply. Please note, this is not, and is not intended to be, a complete description of the applicable import tariffs and buyer remains fully liable for and agrees to promptly pay all tariffs and fees relating to the import of these items into the United States and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor will have any responsibility to pay any applicable tariffs or fees. Please consult your tax adviser with any questions. </em>Furthermore, any lots subject to an import tariff will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart. </em>L&M-1066; Fr-7; K-1536; KM-Pn7; WS-1103; Wenchao-47 (rarity: ★★★★). An <strong>EXCEPTIONALLY RARE</strong> and important pattern issue that straddles the lines of the provincial and Republican series, <em>owing to its reference to Shantung and its otherwise similar nature to the dragon & peacock issues of the same year</em>, this stunner abounds with glistening brilliance and is about as close to Gem status as one can get. Golden-orange in hue and with some hints of frosting upon the devices, this colossal titan is bested in the PCGS census by a mere two others. Compare to a similar piece, <em>assessed slightly higher at MS-65, though by NGC</em>, which realized a total of $444,000 in our October 2023 Hong Kong Auction (Lot # 30116).<p><em>This type--along with its larger 20 Dollars sibling--was issued at the behest of a rather colorful character, the so-called Dogmeat General of Shantung, Chang Tsung-chang (Zhang Zongchang). Chang garnered this unusual nickname on account of his love for Pai gow, a game which, in the northeast, was known eating dog meat. Additionally, he was known as the Three Dont Knows on account of never knowing how much money he had, how many soldiers he had, or even how many women were in his harem (the last of which he labeled merely with numbers in lieu of ever learning or remembering their names). Related to the topic of his harem, further nicknames, such as 72-Canon Chang, The General with Three Long Legs, and Old Eighty-Six (alluding to the height of a stack of 86 Mexican Dollars [8 Reales]), may have been in response to other below-the-belt characteristics.</em>Ex: Anderson Collection.
