拍品描述： 光绪年造户部丙午大清银币"中"字壹两样币。天津造币厂制。 (珍稀度☆☆☆☆)。 品相超群，设计动人，亮泽无比。通体闪烁浅酒红色包浆，尽显特色。因字面有丝痕而得此评分。仔细监视可见经手痕迹，与评级相符，在灯光下旋转较为明显，现有薄包浆覆盖。长青版别，俏丽品相，定能为所属集藏添彩。

鸿禧美术馆图录及董文超《中国历代金银货币通览》所述，币上的轻微模具鏽蚀足证此后铸版是以原模重铸。虽然此版流通时间短，从未正式量产，但对 1908 年大清版的标准设计影响深远，仅反面设计经轻微调整。据光绪三十四年九月皇帝旨意，这套壹两至壹钱套币将代替原有的七钱二分银币体系发行。但由于多个省份持反对意见，光绪帝又在颁旨一个月后即驾崩，这套银币仅有极少数流入市场，流通者亦多被召回。

CHINA. Silver Tael Pattern Restrike, CD (1906). Tientsin Mint. NGC MS-61. L&M-16; K-934; KM-Pn300; WS-0021; Wenchao-85 (rarity four stars). An appealing and exceptionally alluring design, this vibrant and unrivaled pattern issue presents a light burgundy tone shimmering throughout, only augmenting its character. The assigned grade derives from the hairlines on the character side. Upon close inspection signs of handling consistent for the grade become apparent when rotating in the light, now subdued by a thin veneer of patina. A handsome example of this ever-popular type sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.<p><em>

As outlined in Chang Foundation and Wenchao, these are easily identifiable as restrikes from original dies due to the apparent light die rust. A short lived issue that never made its way into full production, but would influence the eventual standard design of the 1908 Imperial issues with only slight modifications to the reverse design of the Tael. By order of Imperial decree of the 9th Moon of the 34th Year of Kuang Hsu, the Tael coin and its subsidiaries were to prevail over the 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar). Due to dissenting provinces and the Emperor dying a month after the Imperial order, this new Tael series failed to take a foothold and the limited pieces that made their way into circulation had to be withdrawn.</em>
