湖北省造双龙一两小字。 小字版。经久不衰的版别。经手痕跡柔和,磨损轻微。紫罗兰至丁香色包浆点缀龙面,银光透现。 珍罕 版别,难得一遇。包括大小字两种的湖北一两製作额仅648,000枚,两版各别的数量不明,但大字版非常的稀少。湖北一两是按照中国传统计重单位的银两制度进行,而非以圆為单位。原来的计划也有五钱、二钱及一钱等面值,然而并未出现过,由连样币形式的也未曾得见来看,应是从未製作过。在实际使用时,民眾发现两种制度间的兑换十分复杂,尤其是在找零钱的时候。 </p>
CHINA. Hupeh. Tael, Year 30 (1904). Hupeh Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58. L&M-180; K-933; KM-Y-128.2; WS-0878. Small characters variety. This ever-popular type, hotly contested and endlessly enthralling, exhibits just the slightest degree of gentle handling and the most honest degree of wear. Meanwhile, a subtle violet-lilac nature enchants the eye on the dragons side, with argent brilliance wholly emanating throughout. An excellent surviving example of this SCARCE and difficult emission.<em></em> <em>
648,000 Hupeh Taels were originally minted, inclusive of both large and small character types; however, it is unknown exactly how many of each were struck. This Tael was introduced as part of a projected coinage reform based upon the traditional Chinese weight standard rather than the Dollar system. In the initial proposal to produce these coins, it was also suggested to produce smaller denominations in the values of 1, 2, and 5 Mace. However, no such pieces have surfaced (even in pattern form), and it is unlikely they were ever produced. The general populace found it complicated to convert two distinctly different coinage systems, especially when making change.</em> Ex: Ponterio 133 (1/2005) Lot # 2048.
