(t) CHINA. Szechuan. Copper 20 Cash Pattern, ND (1903-05). Uncertain Mint, likely in Germany. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-61 Brown.
CL-SC.77A; KM-Y-230.3; CCC-392. Variety with trident flame below "ZE". An EXTREMELY RARE pattern issue featuring a differing dragon whose trident flame points in a dissimilar manner to the others, this represents the finest of just a few of the type that have been seen at PCGS, with an alluringly rich red-brown hue and only a few lightly scattered marks. The strike is sharp and well produced, indicative of its likely foreign origin. A tremendous opportunity for the advanced collector of Chinese coppers--especially those that were never intended for circulation purposes.
Estimate: $15000 - $30000
