Auction Information

Description

In 1908, Wushen Jilin made the Guangxu Yuanbao Center Manchu Kuping Seven Coins and Two Fen Silver Coins. The center of the coin was directly translated as "Qing Dynasty" in Manchu, and it is one of the most rare varieties of silver coins in the Jilin Ganzhi reign series, with very few mints; This coin was minted for a short period of time and most of it entered the market for circulation after production. Therefore, the surviving products usually have poor appearance, or the coin surface is worn out, or stamped with a stamp. The bottom of the plate is undamaged, the dragon scales are clear, and the silver luster is as beautiful as a rare gem. Therefore, the older generation of collectors generally do not have high requirements for the appearance of the Jilin Wushen Flower Basket and Wushen Manchu silver coins, and those without a stamp on the coin surface are considered excellent products; The casting of the auction is extremely outstanding, with a delicate and traceless base plate that is as bright as a mirror. The inscriptions and calligraphy are powerful and graceful, with dragon scales and sharp edges. The coating is light and even, and the silver light is transparent. Its state is incomparable to ordinary Jilin series silver coins, and it is extraordinary and captivating at first sight; At present, among the two most rare silver coins, the Wushen Flower Basket and Manchu, which have been evaluated by PCGS and put into boxes, only this one can reach the BU level in its original state without circulation, making it a top tier coin in Jilin Province. Currently, with an absolute advantage of 3 points higher than the second place, it is far ahead of the company's ranking list. Jilin started minting coins in units of "yuan" in the 22nd year of the Guangxu reign (1896), which was trial produced by the Jilin Machinery Bureau. In the 24th year of the Guangxu reign (1898), Jilin Machinery Bureau was renamed Jilin Silver Yuan Bureau. Since the 25th year of the Guangxu reign (year Ji Hai/1899), all silver coins made in Jilin province have been annotated with the Gan Zhi era. Made in the year of Jihai, the central pattern of the coin is Hua Lan. In the year of Gengzi the following year, a Tai Chi diagram was added, and in the year of Bingwu, the flower blueprint was changed back. There are a total of ten stem and branch years before and after. In the 34th year of the Guangxu reign (1908), the Jilin Silver Yuan Bureau was ordered to cease operations and merged with the Fengtian Silver Yuan Manufacturing Bureau to establish the East Three Provinces Silver Yuan Manufacturing Bureau. Afterwards, except for the Xuantong Yuanbao Erjiao Xiaoyang type in Yangji, the center of the Mint Branch, there were no silver coins made using the name of Jilin Province. Sui Ci Wu Shen was the last year in which silver coins were minted in the name of Jilin Province, and it is the rarest among all the silver coins of Jilin Province. The seven coins and two fen silver coins minted in this year have three layouts, namely the central flower basket, the central Manchu character "Great Qing Dynasty", and the central number "11". The two rarest layouts are the central flower basket and the central Manchu character.
