Description

Ming Dynasty. Xi Zong 10 Cash 1621 Certified 82 by Gong Bo Grading, Unknown mint, Hartill-20.233. Tian Qi tong bao. 45mm. 22.3gm. Zhen Shi above and below. Graded Beauty 82, this lovely relic from the Ming Dynasty displays dual toning of olive and umber as earthen deposits rest between devices. A large format issue cast in 1621, the very same year Wang Xiangjian would produce large 10 Cash coins that would be debased and thus discontinued in 1622. An endearing example of this incredible type.

1621年明代天啓通寶鎮十。公博評級美82。
天啟通寶。45毫米。22.3克。上下方為「鎮十」。這枚明朝古錢的銘文間鏽痕沉積良久，養出橄欖綠和琥珀色的雙重包漿，令人愛不釋手。這枚尺寸較大的古錢問世於1621年，正為王象乾鑄造天啟十一兩的同一年，但該款在1622年便因濫鑄劣錢而停鑄。此幣精彩難得，令人愛不釋手。
