Description

Qing Dynasty. Xianfeng (Wen Zong) Shanxi Yaoding ("Waisted") Sycee of 5 Taels ND (1851-1861), Opitz-pg. 327 (this piece illustrated), Cribb-Unl. (cf. Class XXXIV). 49mm. 190.00gm. The central column reads: "Jin Tai Yin Hao" (foundry name), the column to either side reads: "Xian Feng Nian Yue" (year and month of Xianfeng). A piece of enormous historical interest, not only as it displays three, rather than the usual one, vertical stamps, but also as Cribb records no Yaoding of any province carrying the emperor's name, with all pieces being undated. The side displays a small inventory sticker from Mr. Opitz's collection, as well as the Detroit Money Museum inventory number. This lot has not yet been assigned a grade, as it will be submitted to Gongbo for certification before the auction. Ex. Detroit Money Museum (Inventory no. 2-7-241)
