拍品描述： 丁未大清银币光绪年造壹圆样币。天津造币厂。 铸打有力利落，图文雕刻细腻。底板光滑，包浆浓厚，呈薑灰色，边缘钴蓝点缀。仔细检视可见老旧清洗痕迹，现已重新包浆。瑕不掩瑜，图文之间轻微积土更添原始感。大清帝国银币的首个系列。此系列铸额有限，正面设计更为人熟知，接近 1906 年大清铜币系列。在流通后不到一年，此版就被 1908 年版取替。 (t)

CHINA. Silver Dollar Pattern, CD (1907). Tientsin Mint. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, Unc Details. L&M-20; K-212; WS-0025; Wenchao-89 (rarity two stars). This attractive pattern only issue offers a bold crisp strike with finely engraved devices and smooth richly toned surfaces displaying ginger hued gray with hints of cobalt near the edges. Close inspection reveals evidence of a past cleaning long since toned over and very attractive. Despite its shortcomings a handsome example of the issue that is pleasing to the eye with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices adding to its originality.<p><em>

This Dollar is a representative of the first set of Tai Ching Ti Kuo silver coinage. These issues--struck in limited quantities with a familiar obverse design based on the imperial copper issues beginning in 1906--were placed into circulation and, in less than a year, were replaced by the 1908 issues.</em>
