日本明治十八年二厘铜样币。大阪造币厂。 罕见 ，日本钱币史上面值為 2 厘的钱币仅此一版。仅有另一枚获 PCGS 评為 SPECIMEN-62，日本钱币中难得一觅的一枚。币面近乎整体棕色，精打，大阪铸币厂标緻性的压铸。此枚登场时，拍卖场上定出现群雄逐鹿的盛况。 JAPAN. Copper 2 Rin Pattern, Year 18 (1885). Osaka Mint. Mutsuhito (Meiji). NGC MS-63 Brown. KM-Pn27; JNDA-Unlisted; JC-Unlisted; Jacobs/Vermeule-Z1; Bank of Japan Collection-165. This RARE pattern appears to be the only example in Japanese numismatics to be denominated as 2 Rin. With only one other example graded, a PCGS SPECIMEN-62, this piece presents the opportunity to acquire one of the most challenging issues in the entire Japanese series. The surfaces are nearly uniformly brown, with lovely strike quality from the always-proficient Osaka Mint. A lot that is destined to be fought over, with spirited bidding and much jockeying to be the winning bid until the very close of the lot. Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection.
