二十四年安徽省造光绪元宝库平七钱二分银币。 底板有"A.S.T.C."，日期高"四"。图文深铸，底光充沛，浅色点状包浆迷人，边缘色泽更深。原汁原味，美轮美奂，定能为集藏添彩。董文超指出反面"ASTC"其"TASC"，是大清安徽银币的缩写。 (t)
CHINA. Anhwei. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). NGC AU-55. L&M-199; K-57; KM-Y-45.3; WS-1076; Wenchao-708. Variety with "A.S.T.C." in field, Tall "Si" in date. This lovely survivor exhibits boldly struck devices with plenty of remaining luster in the protected areas displaying light attractive mottled patina with richer coloration near the edges. This original looking example offers good eye appeal and is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.<p><em>It is interesting to point out that Wenchao suggests the meaning of the "ASTC" on the reverse is actually "TASC" being an abbreviation of "TATSING AN-HWEI SILVER COIN", meaning "Anhwei silver coin of the Great Qing".</em><p>
