Description

Qing Dynasty. Yunnan Liangchuo Paifangding ("Two-Stamp Tablet") Sycee of 10 Taels ND (19th Century), Opitz-pg. 329 (this piece illustrated), Cribb-Class LXXII.B. 48x42mm. 368.52gm. The right stamp reads: "Yuan Wei Xian" (Yuanwei County), the left stamp reads: "Yang Zhao Ji" (foundry name). A heavy and very desirable sycee type, the stamps with a strikingly high relief, even for the usual deeply-impressed nature of the strike. The base displays a small inventory sticker from Mr. Opitz's collection. This lot has not yet been assigned a grade, as it will be submitted to Gongbo for certification before the auction.
