CHINA. Kiau Chau. 10 Cents, 1909. PCGS PROOF-65 Gold Shield.
1909年大德国宝壹角。镜面。镜面版。如此高分实属<strong>罕见</strong>。底版锃亮,呈铁灰色。字面有些许细小包浆斑点。据耿爱德所述,大德国宝壹角及伍分在1909年10月发行流通。虽然市场广泛接受,但通行时间很短。由于一次大战的爆发,胶州湾在1914年8月27日遭到英国及日本包围,至11月7日被攻佔。日本控制胶州湾直到1922年才交还中国。
CHINA. Kiau Chau. 10 Cents, 1909. PCGS PROOF-65 Gold Shield.KM-2; K-872; Hsu-38. A Proof issue, <strong>RARE</strong> in this lofty grade, with flashy fields and steel-gray color. Some small toning specks appear in the character side fields.<p><em>According to Kann, the Kiau Chau 5 and 10 Cents entered circulation in October of 1909. Although this issue was met with acceptance, it remained short lived. The German involvement in World War I found the port of Kiau Chau besieged by the British and Japanese on August 27th, 1914, and ended on November 7th and Kiau Chau remained under Japanese control until reluctantly returned to China in 1922.</em>
