CHINA. Qing Dynasty. 50 Cash, ND (ca. April 1854-July 1855). Board of Works Mint, New branch. Emperor Wen Zong (Xian Feng). Certified "78" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.Hartill-22.760; FD-2443. Weight: 33.9 gms. Fou bao. "Xian Feng zhong bao"; Reverse: "Dang wushi". This attractive representative exhibits bold well-defined high relief calligraphy, fairly intact rough natural surface texture and relatively smooth rims with minor evidence of the finishing process. The high points display light brassy tone while the open fields exhibit richer coloration with minor earthen deposits adding to its originality and over-all pleasing appearance. Upon close inspection it becomes apparent that at one point there was an attempt made to remove some of the minor debris amongst the devices to enhance the characters almost not worth mentioning, but was done so for the sake of accuracy.
