丙午"宁"字户部大清铜币五文 PCGS AU 50

丙午"宁"字户部大清铜币五文。罕见，黄铜製。与本次拍卖中的CCC-215非常相似，惟此拍品于背面中心有凸起的地名显示。值得注意的是，此币正面铸模与CCC-215相同，在图文排佈及云纹、波浪的刻画上非常精细。饶有趣味的一枚，值得作进一步研究。流通痕迹适中，与评级相符。铸打精美，龙下波浪保存完整，诱人。

CHINA. Kiangnan. 5 Cash, CD (1906). PCGS AU-50 Secure Holder.CL-Mule KN.44 reverse with KN.47 obv.; Y-9k.1a; CCC-216; Duan-0580. RARE. Struck in brass. Very similar to the CCC-215 we are offering in this sale but with the mintmark incuse on a raised disk on the reverse. Interesting to note is that the obverse die is the same as CCC-215 (also in this sale) and is most apparent with the placement and details of the clouds and waves. An interesting piece deserving of further research. Signs of circulation consistent for the grade. Well struck with full waves below dragon. Attractive patina throughout.
