拍品描述： 成纪七三八年蒙疆银行五分。(t) CHINA. Meng Chiang. 5 Fen, KK 738 (1943). PCGS MS-63.罕见版别，内蒙古日本傀儡政权发行。精选状态，铸打锐利，赏心悦目。其生产来源众说纷纭，相关史料极少。可称为样币铸打，亦可称为未发行流通铸打。此版展现出精湛的铸打技艺，远超华北地区的战后铸币，与1945年满洲国的值班及陶瓷小面值货币自然对比鲜明。Schwan与Bowling在其著作《World War Two Remembered（二战记忆）》主张此版从未进入流通阶段，言下之意是这些钱币并非样币（第693）。考虑到评级数量，以及与其他日佔时期钱币的相似性，纵观所有证据，此主张似乎最为可信。<p><p><p><p><p><p><p><p><p><p><p><p><p><p><p><font size="-8"><strong>(t)</strong><em> This lot was manufactured in China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Russia or Republic of Belarus and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after tariffs were enacted by the United States.

A <strong>RARE </strong>issue struck for the Japanese puppet state in Inner Mongolia. A fully Choice piece that is both sharply made and displays with much eye appeal.<p><em>A type with limited and contradictory evidence regarding its origin and manufacture. Called both a pattern and unreleased circulation strike, these issues show the hallmarks of refined minting, far more advanced than contemporaneous late-war issues in occupied Northern China, with the 1945 Manchukuo cardboard and porcelain minors serving as a logical contrast. Schwan and Bowling in their book </em>World War Two Remembered<em>, take the position that these were types that never reached circulation, implying their non-pattern status (pg. 693). Given their numbers on the population reports, along with similarities to other Japanese Occupation coinage, this position seems most coherent when all the evidence is considered.</em>
