Collection Description: In 1906, the Ministry of Revenue issued a pair of silver coins with the character "Zhong" for the Great Qing Dynasty. The coins were tested and minted at the Tianjin Mint. However, due to the controversy over the "two circles", they were only tested and not issued, making them rare in the world. They have always been regarded as a key variety for advanced collection by the older generation of collectors; The sample coin casting process is exquisite, with a mirror like bottom that is delicate and smooth like silk. The graphics and text on it are delicate and exquisite, with sharp edges and teeth; At the same time, the edge of the sample coin undergoes circular oxidation, forming a colorful rainbow that complements the beautiful base and is more artistic and infectious. As a rare and top-notch collection of Longyang treasures in the central series, its value will inevitably become increasingly prominent. Currently, it is the only runner up point in the company's rating record, with only one champion scoring half a point higher than this one.
