台湾老公银饼。 重26.8克。罕见又富有历史底蕴的一款,是中国第一枚银製标准尺寸机製币。本拍品状态极佳,仅背面有两枚保险戳,正面完整,通体深灰色包浆,泛银光。备受欢迎的品种,保存如此状态实属罕见,未受人工干扰,即便是见多识广的藏家也定会为之倾倒。
这种台湾老公银饼原为军饷之用,很快获得公众认可。主因是其含银量高,达98% 。其时最通行的西班牙本洋成色是0.903,刚超过 90%。老公银饼正面是一位寿星及"库平柒弍"字样,后来"七钱二分"银圆的标准形式正是由此演变而来。背面两个长方形小戳印代表製作者或是保险戳。
CHINA. Taiwan. "Old Man" Dollar, ND (1838-50). NGC AU-50. 26.8 gms. L&M-319; K-1; CH-25-3. A RARE and historical type, being the first struck silver crown in China. The one offered here is a beautiful example, with only the two normal punched security marks on the reverse and a pristine obverse, all with deep gray toning throughout and a silky sheen. A highly desirable type and especially sought after in this state of preservation. Wholly original destine to catch the eye of the discerning collector.Initially designed as a form of military payment, the Taiwan Dollar quickly gained the approval of the people and grew in popularity. This was primarily due to its high silver content, approximately 98% fine. At this time, the Spanish 8 Reales were the most widely accepted coin being 0.903, just over 90% fine. The obverse depicts the god of longevity with character that signify "Seven Two by the Treasury Scales". This represents the first depiction of what later became the standard "7 Mace 2 Candareens". Two small rectangular stamps on the reverse represent makers or security marks.
