Description

Qing Dynasty. Shanghai Erqibao ("City 27 Ingot") Sycee of 50 Taels ND (19th Century) Certified AU55 by Gong Bo Grading, cf. Cribb-Class VIII. 120x74x68.5mm. 1826.9gm. An always collectible, large-format Sycee, and while the central stamp is slightly obscured, still remains identifiable and on the verge of Mint State, indicating incredibly little use in commerce. Battleship-gray throughout with mottled darker patina to the interior wings, making for an all-around attractive offering for the Sycee specialist.

Metal: Silver
Diameter: 120mm

清代上海「生福 上海榮」二七寳銀錠五十兩。公博評級AU55。
120x74x68.5毫米。1826.9克。這件份量十足的銀錠向來深具收藏價值，中央的戳記雖略顯模糊但仍清晰可辨。整體品相幾近原廠狀態，可見甚少用於商貿。槽內呈鐵灰色澤，散落著斑駁的暗色包漿，對銀錠收藏家散發著無窮吸引力。
