五文型骏马代用币 PCGS MS 62

五文型骏马代用币。天津造币厂。镍製，背面空白（非单面）。据推论，据推论，该纪念章由一高官下令定製，此人很可能是天津造币厰时任厂长，为庆祝其儿子于1918年马年出生。分别有三种面额：伍文、拾文、贰拾文。 由于正面设计凸出複杂，所以背面留白。模具是通过沉模和轮毂压力机生产的，而不是普通的压印机。及后于1919年（羊年）他继续铸製银质骏马代用币以庆祝另一小女儿的诞生。此枚铸打深峻，细节精緻。可察轻微腐蚀，背面有几道刮痕，非常值得深究。

CHINA. 5 Cash Commemorative Token, ND (ca. 1918). Tientsin Mint. PCGS MS-62 Secure Holder.cf.Duan-3626. Struck in nickel, reverse blank (not uniface). It is theorized that the production of these pieces was ordered by a high ranking official, thought to be the director of the Tientsin mint, in 1918 the lunar year of the horse to commemorate the birth of his new son. Three denominations were made (5 Cash, 10 Cash and 20 Cash), but due to their intricate high relief designs the reverses were left blank. The dies were produced by die-sinking and hubbing presses rather than the normal coining press. The following year in 1919(year of the goat) silver tokens were made to commemorate the birth of a new baby girl(see L&M-1000A). Well struck with good definition of the fine details. Minor encrustation and spotting with a streaky reverse. An interesting series worthy of further research.
