大韩光武五年半圜银币。 <strong>罕见</strong>版别,俄罗斯风格的帝王鹰(而非常见的龙)。在 19 世纪末期和20世纪的初期,韩国深受俄罗斯影响,期间的铸制的面额都相当罕见,发行风格较早前更接近俄罗斯。目前的面额是最为难寻的一枚。此枚极可能是藏家寥寥无几入手的良机,钱币带有诱人的砲铜灰色调和柔美金色。
KOREA. Russian Domination. 1/2 Won, Year 5 (1901). Kojong (as Emperor). NGC AU-58. KM-1123. A <strong>RARE </strong>subset of issues featuring the Russian-style imperial eagle (as opposed to the more familiar dragon) was briefly introduced during a period of Russian influence in the waning years of the 19th century and the beginning years of the 20th. As such, the denominations produced--<em>all rather difficult, with the present denomination being the most difficult</em>--took on more of a Russian feel than prior issues. This example undoubtedly stands as one of the finest that one could possibly acquire, with an alluring gunmetal gray tone and golden-pastel hints throughout.
