拍品描述： 民国十六年孙中山像陵墓一圆银样币。 出自维也纳造币厰，由 Richard Placht 雕刻。发行量：480 枚。铸打深峻，包浆明亮动人。深色包浆点亮天空，可与旭日媲美。无接触或摩擦痕跡。NGC 旧盒确认其為精选品相。深受欢迎的 极罕 版别，发行量低，设计典雅。出自奥地利籍雕刻家之手，工艺精湛，但其设计注定了落选的命运。Placht 从未见过陵墓，因此反面设计备受质疑。同时，或因未曾见过中国人，导致孙中山的肖像与真人相差颇远。耿爱德引述中国造币厰官员称，币上肖像与后登上总统之座的德国军方领袖-保罗-冯-兴登堡更為形似。 </p> </p>

CHINA. Silver Mausoleum Dollar Pattern, Year 16 (1927). Nanking Mint. NGC MS-63. L&amp;M-85; K-609; WS-0130; Wenchao-898 (rarity: ★★★); Sun-III-4-01. Engraved by Richard Placht at the Vienna Mint. Mintage: 480. This exceptionally serene issue handles itself amazingly well, with a boldly applied strike and strokes of charming and vibrant toning. The deeper hue illuminates the sky in a dance of color that rivals the rising sun itself. This specimen is nearly free from contact or friction, and the grade assigned by the old NGC holder merely confirms what is plainly visible, namely the highly choice status of this piece. <em>This heavily demanded and EXCES SIVELY RARE type is ceaselessly desirable on account of the miniscule mintage and elegant design. Despite the wonderful engraving work undertaken by the Austrian engraver, this piece was destined to fail on account of its design elements. Placht had never seen the mausoleum in question on the reverse, and may have never even seen a Chinese person, making his rendering of Sun Yat-sen rather distinct from the actual appearance the latter. Kann reports a Chinese Mint officials comment that the portrait bore a much stronger resemblance to German military leader-turned-president, Paul von Hindenburg instead.</em></p>
