河南省造光绪元宝十文。极罕。省造铜币，反面中央是阴阳，"光绪元宝"四字围绕；正面顶上有四字"宣统年造"。有些许铜锈，磨损均匀，评分客观。铸打出色，柔和的焦糖及红褐色包浆。非常有趣的一枚，定能为各集藏添光彩。

Mule of a provincial reverse with Yin and Yang and central legend as "Kuang Hsu Yuan Bao" (Round currency (of the) Kuang Hsu (period)) and an Imperial obverse with legend as "Xuantong nian zao" (Xuan Tong era). Minor deposits of verdigris mentioned for accuracy. Good strike with wear consistent for the grade and lovely smooth chocolate patina highlighted with warm caramel and mahogany atop of the devices. Very interesting and sure to add depth to the next collection it enters.
