广东省造七二反版大全套5枚 NGC SP 62

CHINA. Kwangtung. Kwangtung Mint Specimen Set, 1890.L&M-128, 129, 130, 131 & 132; Kann-21, 22, 23, 24 & 25; Y-194.1, 195.1, 196.1, 197.1 & 198.1. Includes: 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar); 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents); 1 Mace 4.4 Candareens (20 Cents); 7.2 Candareens (10 Cents); and 3.6 Candareens (5 Cents).5 pieces in lot.

Upon the realization that the first Kwangtung issues were being gathered from circulation and melted for their extra silver content, authorities quickly ordered a modification to the new coinage design. New patterns were produced at the Kwangtung Mint using hubs supplied by the Birmingham Mint. Essentially these were identical to Allan Wyons original design with a few modifications. The weight was changed from 7 Mace 3 Candareens on the Dollar to 7 Mace 2 Candareens and correspondingly smaller per denomination. Another subtle change that was made, but only on some denominations, was the addition of small rosettes at either side of the dragon.

Upon further inspection of the dollar one notices the stylized “2” used in the metal content. This suggests being prepared by a Chinese die engraver as it is consistent in style to the latter dollars of this series. The strike quality of this set is slightly inferior to that of the “Seven Three” set. This would be consistent with the fact that although the Kwangtung Mint had received the proper machinery and dies, it did not receive proof presses or the proper machinery to produce special planchets.

Like the “Seven Three” coinage, this new modified design was destined for failure. The overall design failed to meet with the approval of the Peking authorities due to the placement of the Chinese and English legends. The mint was then instructed to shift the English and Chinese text to the opposite sides of the coins. This and the previous set have come to be known as the “Reversed Pattern” series for this reason.

EXTREMELY RARE. Much more rare than the “Seven Three” set as the “Seven Two” set was struck in a much smaller quantity and apparently never released for circulation. Very elusive and missing from most major collections, including Irving Goodman and Eduard Kann, both of whom had only the 5 cent and 10 cent. The Dollar is plate coin CH177 in H. Changs “SUBSIDIARY NOTES ON THE SILVER DOLLARS AND TAELS OF CHINA”.

Highly important as this set represents a landmark in Chinese minting as it is the first Specimen silver coinage produced in China with modern minting machinery. Regarded as one of the highlights of the auction, this set offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a highly important piece of Chinese numismatics. Over all the set is evenly matched with attractive light tone. Grades are as follows:

7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar) NGC SP62
3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents) NGC SP63
1 Mace 4.4 Candareens (20 Cents) NGC SP62
7.2 Candareens (10 Cents) NGC SP63
3.6 Candareens (5 Cents) NGC AU55
