民国"川"字十分铜币。极罕。光边,四瓣花,"川"字居中,背书"十分"。Krause参考书记载,此款发行于1912年,但我们认为这只是作者的猜测,不太可能属实。正面中心图案与1926年发行的五十文、一百文及贰百文十分相似。饶有趣味的一枚,值得深入研究。
PCGS SP-64 BN Secure Holder.
From the Q. David Bowers Collection.Ex: R. B. White.
CHINA. Szechuan. Pattern 10 Cents (Fen), ND (ca. 1912). PCGS SP-64 BN Secure Holder.KM-Pn26. VERY RARE. Plain edge. Quadrilobe with "Chuan" within circle at center; Reverse: Decorative wreath with denomination at center "Shi Fen" (Ten Fen(Cents)). The Krause book dates these pieces to 1912 though this is highly unlikely and purely speculative. The central obverse design features closely resemble the 50, 100 and 200 cash issued in 1926. Very interesting and deserving of further in depth research. Sharply struck with lovely mahogany patina in the open fields with a nice coffee color atop of the devices.
