拍品描述： 吉林省造光绪元宝库平三钱六分银币。 六排鳞。既明亮又华丽，铸打精良，正面光彩充盈，而反面则显示出更多的光滑表面。在边缘附近注意到轻浅的色调，倍添美感及独创性。<p><em>

此枚有数处独特特徵，可能引起吉林省的学术收藏家兴趣。"麒麟"的"K"似乎是逆行的倒"ʞ"上方。另外，铭文中的R字带缺口，三个"N"的形态也截然不同。"省"或"光"都没有钩或点，看起来更像笔划一样的倒置右逗号（）。</em> (t)

CHINA. Kirin. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), ND (1898). PCGS AU-58. L&M-517; K-297; KM-Y-182.1. Six rows of scales. This bright and flashy survivor exhibits a good strike with much remaining brilliance on the obverse while the reverse displays more satiny surfaces. Light attractive tone is noticed near the edges adding to its pleasing appearance and originality.<p><em>It is of special interest to the academic collector of this province to point out several observations about this piece. The "K" of "Kirin" appears to be over an upside down "ʞ" that is in retrograde. Other aspects are the use of the same broken "R" punch in the legend and that all three "N" punches are completely different. Neither "Sheng" or "Kuang" are hooked or dotted, but rather appear to have more a of an inverted right comma () like stroke. </em><p>
