日本明治八年贸易银壹圆银币。大坂造币厂。镜面。 大桐版。乍看似与普通的贸易银相同,但实际上是极罕有的版别。特殊版别与八年和九年发行版别区别细微,仅在背面体现-其中最明显的是在花圈右侧外顶部有一处额外花蕾。此外,反面中央顶部的泡桐和菊花较普通版稍大。存世已知仅有大约 20 - 30 枚,此枚若非品相巅峰,亦必定是最佳之一 。类精制镜面底板,光彩照人,银色闪烁,图文雾光。日本珍品收藏家的绝佳机会,不容错过。
JAPAN. Trade Dollar, Year 8 (1875). Osaka Mint. Mutsuhito (Meiji). PCGS MS-61 Prooflike. cf. KM-Y-14 (for regular issue); cf. JNDA-01-12 (same); cf. JC-09-12-1 (same). "Daido" (大桐) variety. Though at first appearance, the present specimen would seem to be a scarce but unassuming Trade Dollar, it is, in fact, an <strong>INCREDIBLE RARITY</strong>. A special subset of issues from years 8 and 9 exhibit very subtle differences upon their reverses--the most obvious of which is the presence of an additional bud at the outer top of the right-hand side of the wreath. Additionally, the paulownia and chrysanthemum at the central top of the reverse are slightly larger than on the general issue of Trade Dollars. Only about 20-30 of this special "large paulownia" type are known to exist, with the present example likely one of the finest--<em>if not </em>the <em>finest</em>--extant. Exceptionally prooflike and radiant, with a delightful argent nature and subtle frosting to the devices. A great opportunity for the advanced collector of Japanese rarities.
