新疆光绪银钱半钱(五分)。喀什造币厂。 方中无点,不同的满文和突厥文。这种极稀有版别鲜少面市,只曾出现在耿爱德的书中,但没有描述。铸工出色,坯饼近全圆,丝滑币面呈现斑驳灰色包浆,一层香槟色的浅包浆。极具魅力的代表作,肯定会吸引许多罕见版别的资深收藏家的注意。 (t)
CHINA. Sinkiang. 5 Fen (1/2 Miscal), ND (1878). Kashgar Mint. PCGS AU-55. cf. L&M-677; K-1037g. Square without dot variety, different Manchu and Turki script. This <strong>EXTREMELY</strong> <strong>RARE</strong> variety seldom appears on the market and is only plated in Edward Kanns book, but not described. The strike is bold on a nearly round planchet displaying mottled gray tone with satiny surfaces and thin veneer of champagne tone. The attractive representative is sure to catch the attention of many advanced collectors seeking unusual numismatic relics.
