臆造乙酉光绪年造隆裕皇后像壹圆型金币。 <strong>非常罕见</strong>,备受喜爱。肖像一直被认为是隆裕皇后肖,实际上更有可能是慈禧太后。无论如何都是极特殊的一枚。无磨损,高铸处亦无擦拭痕。仅有极微弱的清洗痕迹。
CHINA. Fantasy "Empress Long Yu" Gold Dollar, CD ("1885"). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, Unc Details. K-B14; KMX-191; cf. WS-1349-10 (silver). Another example of this <strong>VERY RARE</strong> and ever-popular type, featuring Empress "Long Yu" as traditionally attributed, though very likely the Empress Dowager Cixi instead. In either event, an exceptional specimen, with no evidence of any wear or rub upon the high points and exhibiting just a light degree of the noted cleaning. <p>
