- Stunning Shantung 20 Dollars Pattern of the Warlord Zhang Zhongchang
The Sole Finest Certified Example at Either NGC or PCGS
CHINA. Shantung. Gold 20 Dollars Pattern, Year 15 (1926). Tientsin Mint. NGC MS-66★.
L&M-1065; Fr-6; K-1535; KM-Pn9; WS-1102; Hsu-30; Wenchao-46 (rarity: ★★★★). There are some coins that simply escape description by language and touch a place of sentimentality and wonderment in the hearts of every collector. To this list is the present Shantung Gold Pattern, offering a beauty and importance that is seldom encountered. Amongst the RAREST of all provincial coinage, Kann relays that this issue was likely produced in extremely limited quantities at the Tientsin Mint, given the production quality far exceeds what would have been technically feasible at the Shantung Provincial Mint. Produced at the order of Zhang Zhongchang, perhaps the basest of all the Chinese warlords.
This example delivers a rich and robust strike, with an essentially as made appearance. The bright luster is entirely uninterrupted by mark or contact, with the as made die lines being the major feature of note on the surfaces. The shimmering luster provides a mirrored reflectivity, offering a supreme eye appeal that is confirmed by the NGC star designation. No example of this type has been certified as finer by either NGC or PCGS, highlighting the truly special state of preservation of this example. A piece that is deserved of the most exultant attention, and one that is destined for the finest of numismatic collections.
Estimate: $150,000 - $250,000.

華美軍閥張宗昌山東貳拾圓金樣幣
NGC 及 PCGS 評鑒中的唯一冠軍分
民國十五年山東省貳拾圓金樣幣。天津造幣廠製。
珍稀度 ★★★★。世上總有些錢幣之美難以筆墨形容,但震撼人心。此枚山東金樣幣無論是美觀還是重要性均難逢敵手,可說是所有省造幣中最為罕見之一。耿愛德認為此版工藝遠超山東省造幣廠的技術,應是鑄於天津造幣廠,數量極其稀少。此版由張宗昌頒令鑄造。
鑄打有力深峻,宛如新鑄。原廠模具線條為幣面增添特色。光澤明亮,全無留痕或接觸痕跡。底板折射鏡光,熠熠生輝,極為悅目。就連 NGC 都為其添上星評級,更證其美。NGC 及 PCGS 評鑑中均無對手,高踞榜首。值得重點關注的一枚,位屬最頂尖的集藏。
