Description

Extremely Rare Pattern Trade Dollar

Meiji silver Proof Pattern Trade Dollar Year 7 (1874) PR62 NGC, KM-Pn25, J&V-R1 (Extremely Rare). Dragon without beaded circle. One of two Meiji Year 7 Trade Dollar Patterns, both noted as extremely rare by Jacobs & Vermeule but based on auction appearances, this is indeed the rarer type. Glittering luster shines through the lead-gray and amber patina, offering a kaleidoscope of visual experience in hand. Crevice silhouetting strengthens the articulation of the dragon and wreath motifs, furthering the specimen's impact as a Pattern. This is the better of only two representatives at NGC and the only one that has appeared at auction in recent memory. Unquestionably a highlight from the Japanese selections in this Peh Collection.

Ex. Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection (Heritage Auction 3015, September 2011, Lot 24364); Privately Purchased from Hans M. F. Schulman (New York, 1953 or 1954)

稀世珍罕的日本貿易銀樣幣

明治七年（1874）貿易銀精製樣幣。PR62 NGC。
飛龍無珠圈。此為兩款明治七年貿易銀樣幣之一，雖然按Jacobs及Vermeuele所述，兩款均為可遇不可求的超凡逸品，但從拍賣記錄可見，此版別的稀罕程度實際上更勝一籌。此枚閃爍耀目的光芒於鉛灰和琥珀色的包漿上肆意流淌泛映，在手上細看時營造了變幻無窮的視覺效果。圖文深處的輪廓更是令飛龍和麥穗圖文的線條更顯分明銳利，力證了此例的樣幣身份實至名歸。這款樣幣在NGC記錄中僅見兩例，此為當中較佳者，亦是在近年拍賣上所有亮相的孤例。此幣毫無疑問為白家珍藏中的焦點日本珍品。
