朝鲜花钱。20枚。正面：长寿图样居中，云雾及八隻神兽围绕；反面：八角徽章，铭文围绕五隻蝙蝠。正面受保护区域及裂缝间仍保有原好的红绿色泽，然而图文顶端及底板上色泽呈些许剥落。蝙蝠的高铸处红色已剥落，外缘底板蓝色完好，但因氧化渐变近似黑色。细心检阅，部分透现原来的鲜蓝光泽。同组亦包括四枚色彩缤纷的花钱，及十五枚乾隆时期古钱，全均以红色为主。绝对是拍卖场上引人注目的一组。KOREA. Choson Dynasty. Solid Longevity Chatelaine Plus Charms and Cash (20 pieces), ND (ca. 19th Century). VERY FINE.M-102.3; H-86. 106 mm. Obverse: Large longevity symbol flanked by clouds and surrounded by eight mythical beasts; Reverse: Reverse: Octagonal emblem with inscription surrounded by five bats. Much of the original red and green pigment on the obverse is still intact in the protected areas and crevasses, but does show signs off flaking in the fields and tops of the devices. The red pigment on the high points of the bats has worn away and flaked off while the outer fields actual retain most of the blue pigment which has long since oxidized turning to a deeper coloration almost black. Upon close inspection small areas of the pigment have chipped away revealing the vibrant blue pigment. Also included in are several colorful charms (4 pieces) and Chinese Cash coins of Chien Lung (15 pieces) all with red pigment. An always in demand item certain to see spirited bidding from many collectors.
