日本明治三十二年五厘铜样币。大阪造币厂。 压铸精深，块状原厂红光。铸打莫测，因样币获採纳后通常有些许修改，而 17 年后此枚样币的设计被原封不动生產出流通币，仅重量减轻。NGC 及 PCGS 评鉴仅此一枚， 罕见 难得，日本钱币中登峰造极的上乘佳品。 JAPAN. Copper 5 Rin Pattern, Year 32 (1899). Osaka Mint. Mutsuhito (Meiji). NGC MS-64 Brown. KM-Pn30; JNDA-06-32; JC-Unlisted; Jacobs/Vermeule-Y101; Bank of Japan Collection-36. This enchantingly produced piece displays a bold strike and a good patchwork of minty red brilliance. The striking is slightly enigmatic, as the general design was adopted--slightly modified--17 years after this pattern was produced during the reign of Taisho, albeit at a reduced weight. Nevertheless, it remains the only example of the date and type to have been certified by either NGC or PCGS, with most examples evidently being housed in museum collections. A fantastically RARE piece, and near the pinnacle of Japanese types. Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection.
