光绪通宝 背天下太平。重:35.7克。正面:"光绪通宝",背面:"天下太平"。包浆浓郁,字体清晰深峻,完好底版纹理自然粗糙,底版上环绕图文有少许积土及绿色皮壳。高点及边缘有许多磕碰痕和边缘崩裂,均为老伤,更为此币增添古韵趣味。虽有上述瑕疵,仍不失赏心悦目,定会为集藏增添深度。
CHINA. Qing Dynasty. Peace and Prosperity Charm, ND. Emperor De Zong (Guang Xu). Graded "Authentic" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.Weight: 35.7 gms. "Guang Xu tong bao"; Reverse: "Tian xia tai ping". This richly toned example displays bold well-defined calligraphy with intact naturally rough surface texture in the fields and minor earthen deposits and green encrustation amongst the devices. The high points and rims show many hit marks and edge bumps indicative of significant handling over a long period of time adding a bit of charm to this piece. Despite its shortcomings this handsome survivor is pleasing with lots of character certain to add depth to the next collection it enters.
