二十九年光绪元宝户部库平一两银样币。天津造币厂。
CHINA. Silver Tael Pattern, Year 29 (1903). Tientsin Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-55 Gold Shield.
珍稀度:☆☆☆☆。诱人的原厂品相,赏心悦目的一枚,设计华美繁複,铭文雕刻细腻。表面轻微经手痕迹,与评级相符。吸引的斑驳灰色包浆,币缘及图文间色泽更深。备受欢迎且重要的一枚,鲜少面市,绝对为藏家所垂涎。光绪户部一两样币原模来自日本大坂造币局,于海关总税务司赫德监督下在天津造币厂制作。最初目的是统一币制并实施金本位,面值有壹两、伍钱、贰钱、壹钱及半钱等五种。计划未没能推行的原因之一,是各省因担心利益受损而反对由中央设置总厂制造规格一致的新币。此外,中国当时亦尚未有能力处理大量流通中的各式纸币及计划如何兑换。
L&M-1; K-927; KM-Pn295; WS-0016; Wenchao-pg. 117#79 (rarity four stars); Chang Foundation-pg. 70#29 (rarity four stars); Shanghai Museum-Mr. Shi Jiagans collection-pg. 10#39. This charming and wholly original looking large size silver issue boasts intricate motifs with finely engraved calligraphy. The surfaces exhibit gentle signs of handling consistent for the grade, all while displaying an attractive, mottled gray patina with areas of richer coloration near the edges and among the devices.
This important and popular type, seldom encountered on the open market, is highly coveted sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection into which it enters.Although struck at the Tientsin mint, the original dies were ordered from and prepared by the Osaka mint in Japan under the supervision of Robert Hart, Inspector General of Maritime Customs. The initial goal was an early attempt to unify Chinese coinage on the gold standard, producing denominations in 1 Tael and 1/2, 1, 2 & 5 Mace. The project never went into full production for a few reasons. First, the outlined plan called for one central mint to be responsible for coinage production to insure the uniformity of the new coinage, which the directors of the provincial mints heavily resisted due to potential profit cuts. Also, at this time in China, there was no plan in place to deal with the vastly different types of paper money circulating and how to accept them in exchange.
