民国时期中央造币厂布图厂条半两金锭。 重15.6克。正面分三行戳有序号、纯度及重量。反面為内陷布币图案，令人联想到民国晚期钱币。无实际经手痕跡，金光俊俏，生產略显粗糙。银锭及民国币藏家定会垂青。 珍罕 ，是本行首次上拍。 <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. This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after the tariffs were enacted. Accordingly, any client who wishes to take delivery of this item within the United States will be subject to a 7.5% import tariff plus a processing fee of 0.3464% (minimum $27.75 / maximum $538.40). Please note, this is not, and is not intended to be, a complete description of the applicable import tariffs and buyer remains fully liable for and agrees to promptly pay all tariffs and fees relating to the import of these items into the United States and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor will have any responsibility to pay any applicable tariffs or fees. Please consult your tax adviser with any questions.</em> <em>Furthermore, any lots subject to an import tariff will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.</em> (t) CHINA. Gold 5 Mace (1/2 Tael) Ingot, ND (ca. 1940s). Graded UNC by Huaxia Coin Grading Company. cf. L&M-1075. Weight: 15.6 gms. Featuring an obverse stamping of the serial number, purity, and weight of the ingot in three respective lines, the reverse features an incuse rendering of ancient Chinese spade money, which will immediately harken back to reverse design of minor coinage in the late Republican series. This example shows no real evidence of handling and retains a handsome golden sheen, though there is some crudeness to the manufacture. An interesting piece that is sure to appeal to collectors of both Sycee and Republican types. This specimen is by all accounts SCARCE , as it is the first one of its type we have offered.
