日本明治十年二十圆金币。JAPAN. 20 Yen, Year 10 (1877). Osaka Mint. Mutsuhito (Meiji). PCGS MS-64 Prooflike Gold Shield.发行量：29 枚。各方面均状态顶尖的一枚，版式极罕，品相首屈一指。鑑于其铸造量极少，这枚钱币很可能是用以颁赠予日本国内位高权重之人或外国贵宾。因此不难发现其铸造巧夺天工，且经细心保存。此枚的币缘相当宽阔平整（相对于较为人熟悉的 1870 年的二十圆发行），且霜面光泽出众，突显中央图文的浮雕感。与币缘相同，整体设计锐利，匠心独运，绽放华丽霜光。底板更是惊为天人，类镜面打铸，萤亮炫目，整体立体感十足。明治天皇十年制的二十圆可说是日本最重要的现代发行之一。因此，博物馆外的私人珍藏鲜少出现。在翻寻资料之初，我们竟未能在汇总过去 20 年全球大多拍卖结果的数据库中找到任何相关记录。几经查找，我们仅发现一条与明治十年二十圆相关的拍卖记录。在2008 年 11 月，同款珍品曾于日本银座拍卖中亮相，拍品编号为 974，当时的成交价格创下历史新高，连佣金高达 42,180,000 日元（按当前汇率约合 40 万美元）。现时收藏家对珍品的需求日益增加，本次登场的此枚珍品成交价格定必再创高峰。令人爱不释手的一枚，千载难逢的收藏机会，值得为其千金一掷。明治１０年旧二十円金货 発行枚数：29枚非常に希少。美しい状态です。非常に少ない発行枚数であることを考えると、国内の上位者または国宾级の高官のいずれかに赠呈する目的で打たれた可能性があります。したがってこのコインのできが繊细で素晴らしいのは当然であるといえます。一般的な明治３年の旧二十円と比较して非常に広く平らなリムを有し、豊かなフロスト状の辉きがコインを覆っています。リムと同様に、デザインも鲜明ではっきりと打たれています。最も惊くべきことは、完全なる镜面に近い半プルーフ状のフィールドであり、その结果コインの辉かしいカメオとなって表れています。明治１０年の旧二十円は、日本で最も重要な近世の硬货の1つといっても过言ではありません。过去20年间に世界中のほとんどの货币会社によるオークション结果を集计したデータベースで调査したところ、2008年11月の银座コインオークションの记録しか见つかりませんでした。（ロット番号974）当时も记録的な価格を达成し、42,180,000円（现在の为替レートで约40万ドル）というすばらしい価格を达成しました。最近では稀少なタイプの市场需要が高まっているため、最终の落札価格は困难ですが、非常に贵重なチャンスなので、所有者を満足させることは间违いないでしょう。Fr-45; KM-Y-13; JNDA-01-1. Mintage: 29. A coin that has it all, this piece pairs EXTREME RARITY with visual superiority. Considering its minuscule mintage, as an issue, it was likely struck in its entirety for the purpose of presentation to either high ranking individuals within Japan or foreign dignitaries that found themselves guests of the state. Therefore, it is unsurprising that this coin was produced with great care. One such instance where its exceptional nature is overwhelmingly apparent is at the edges, which are incredibly broad and flat (relative to the more familiar 1870 20 Yen issues), with rich frost that extends to where they square off with the rims. This luxurious treatment serves to frame the centers, which also display special qualities. Similar to the edges, the designs, show refined frost, while each and every element displays crisp definition. Perhaps most extraordinary however are the surrounding fields, which showcase full prooflike reflectivity, the result contributing to the coins glorious cameo appearance.Its no exaggeration to consider Emperor Meijis 10th year 20 Yen one of Japans most important modern-era coins. Because of this, examples held outside of museums by individuals seldom appear on the market. Upon consultation with a database that aggregates auction results by most numismatic firms around the world over the past 20 years, no such appearances of this coin were found. In fact, we were able to locate only one such record of this issue selling at auction. That appearance occurred in November 2008 as lot 974 in a Ginza Coin auction. Achieving what remains a record price for a modern-era coin sold at auction by that firm to this day, it achieved an impressive all-in price of 42,180,000 JPY (approximately $400,000 USD at current exchange rate). Considering how the appetite for extreme rarities has only grown over the intervening decade plus, theres truly no telling where this example will settle. What is certain is that it will immediately gratify its owner, as the opportunity to own such an important and magnificent item is almost as rare as the items themselves.
