西藏宣统桑康果木半两银币。 西藏系列中数一数二的 罕见版别 ，藏传佛教文化表露无遗。正面為佛教如意八宝。PCGS 评鉴中仅有四枚，此為其中之一，与另一枚并列最高分。可见铸打过程中造成的币边缺陷，但图文饱满深峻。浅原厂光仍然耀眼。编者翻查记录发现上一枚同版币现身拍卖已是 2009 年，相信一旦错过此枚，需等待多年才会重遇。 </p>
CHINA. Tibet. 1/2 Srang (5 Sho), CD 1 (1909). Dode Mint. PCGS AU-53. cf. L&M-657 (Srang); KM-Y-8; WS-0279; Zhengmin-388. One of the premier RARITIES of the entire Tibetan series, this beautiful example perfectly displays Tibetan Buddhist culture with the decorative obverse featuring the Eight Auspicious symbols of Buddhism. This example is one of four to have ever been certified by PCGS, with this piece being tied with one other for the finest graded of the type. Some edge defects from the striking process are noticed, but otherwise the devices are well formed and struck. Light mint luster can even still be seen to shimmer and glow. The only record of another example of this type that this cataloger was able to find was a piece offered in 2009, making it quite likely that this lot will be the only chance in years to acquire a specimen.
