拍品描述： 民国三十八年贵州省政府造一圆银币。 竹子币 。 圆窗。堪称中国钱币界的巔峰之作，鲜少面市。此枚轻微经手，枪灰色包浆柔美，细节纤毫毕现，皎洁无瑕，千载难逢。正面贵阳甲秀楼，就如 1928 年设计的贵州汽车币铸有暗记一样，此枚在门上有一小“谷”字，指当时任贵州省政府主席谷正伦之姓。而“TLK”则以大写字体出现在它的下方，与甲秀楼的地基融為一体，有一说指是雕刻师的名称。贵州竹子银币存世量极少，属於银币收藏中的顶级珍品，相信会引起极大关注。 <font size= -8 > (t) <em> On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collectors items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes.

CHINA. Kweichow. Bamboo Dollar, Year 38 (1949). NGC EF-40. L&M-612; K-758; KM-Y-433; WS-1112. Variety with round window. A capstone and crown jewel of any provincial or classical Chinese collection in general, this wholesome, lightly handled RARITY presents a gunmetal gray tone with well executed detail remaining and no issues affecting its appearance. The obverse displays a detailed Chinese pavilion and, paralleling the hidden iconography of its predecessor, the ever-popular Auto Dollar, this piece displays a small character Gu in the doorway, thus serving as a reference to then-governor Gu Zhenglun. Meanwhile, T L K appears just below it in block lettering, blending in well with the foundation of the pavilion and likely serving as a nod to the coins engraver. Assuredly, of immense interest and one which will generate tremendous enthusiasm along with spirited bidding.
