CHINA. Fengtien. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), Year 25 (1899). PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield.
光绪二十五年奉天机器局造五角银币。二十四/二十五 年混配。<strong>非常罕见</strong>而又富有趣味的版别。龙面中文年份为"二十五",字面满文为二十四年。深色包浆,呈强烈的钴蓝之酒红色调。留痕极少,龙面中心可见些许衝模。底光闪烁,极具魅力。2020 年香港春拍中一枚类似拍品 (编号 42097),获评 PCGS AU-53,以 48,000 美元拍出。此枚评分更高,是 PCGS 评鉴中的冠军分。
CHINA. Fengtien. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), Year 25 (1899). PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield.L&M-479; K-249a; KM-Y-86; WS-0593. Year 25/24 mule. An interesting and <strong>VERY RARE</strong> variety with the regnal year 25 in Chinese on the dragon side and year 24 in Manchu on the characters side. A deeply toned minor with a minimum degree of marks, along with strong hues of cobalt and burgundy, although we note a bit of die clashing on the center of the dragon side. Some shimmering hints of brilliance emanate from the protected areas, adding even more charm and appeal. Compare to a similar specimen, a PCGS AU-53 in our May 2020 Hong Kong auction (lot 42097), that realized a total of $48,000. Surmounting that example, this resounding piece stands as the single finest graded specimen in the PCGS census.
