拍品描述： 北洋二十五年造光绪元宝七钱二分银币。 精选未经流通品相，两面均有醇厚包浆，呈钢灰色及红褐色。光綫直射时，可见鲜艳底色，金、粉红及虹彩宝石蓝点缀底板，边缘色彩更盛。铸打利落，熟悉此版的藏家会明白在此系列中极为难能可贵。定能引发激烈争夺，并升级所属集藏。 (t)

CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 25 (1899). PCGS AU-55. L&M-454; K-196; KM-Y-73; WS-0624. From an issue that has the attention of many collectors, both sides of this Choice About Uncirculated example are richly toned in steel gray and russet shades.

The strike is crisp for the type, a fact that will win the appreciation of those who understand how difficult it is to locate a coin from this series with such clarity. Bound to see ample action on the auction block, we have no doubt this piece will enhance an many collections.
