拍品描述： 民国十六年褚玉璞像壹圆纪念银样币。

CHINA. Silver Dollar Pattern, Year 16 (1927). PCGS SPECIMEN-62 Gold Shield.

珍稀度：☆☆。为纪念褚玉璞出任直隶总督一週年所铸。保存完好，版式稀少之作。整体底板银光俱佳，图文细节纤毫毕现。表面呈轻微经手痕迹，但正反两面均是光可鑑人，淡淡斑驳的红褐色包浆，延展至正面币缘处色泽更浓。珍品中的常青树，亮相于公开拍卖时，每每令藏家不懈追求，定能增加集藏深度。在指挥直隶军期间，褚玉璞获得整个省的指挥权，并最终于1926年4月7日出任军长。在北伐战争中，他对抗蒋介石的国民革命军和冯玉祥的国民军，但最终败北下野，并在半年后被老部下背叛枪决。

L&M-962; K-690; Hsu-30; WS-0125; Wenchao-pg. 700#1120 (rarity two stars); Shanghai Museum-Mr. Shi Jiagans collection-pg. 125#587. Struck to commemorate the first year anniversary of Chu Yu-pu as governor of Chihli. This nicely preserved and seldom encountered pattern Dollar offers flashy fields with crisp, well-defined motifs. The surfaces display signs of being gently handled along with a light russet patina and much remaining brilliance on both sides.

This VERY RARE issue is always highly coveted when appearing on the market, and the opportunity to acquire such a significant Republican issue is sure to attract much attention.While in command of the Chihli army, Chu Yu-pu would also gain command of the whole province, eventually becoming governor on 7 April 1926. His appointment didnt really come with any power and, during the Northern Expedition (an attempt to reunify China by Chiang Kai-sheks Nationalist Revolutionary Army and Feng Yuxiangs Guominjun), he was betrayed by a former subordinate and was executed by firing squad 6 months later.
