Description
The Ministry of Revenue is the most exquisite representative of China's silver standard currency system. In order to reflect the authority of the Qing imperial power system in the monetary field, its designers and manufacturers spared no expense in carrying out exquisite designs. Its artistic level and anti-counterfeiting ability have not been surpassed so far. Due to the inconsistency between the weight design of one or two units of Kuping and the international and domestic market practice of dividing Kuping into seven and two units, as well as the high production cost, since the second half of 1903 when a batch was produced, there has been no circulation and it was returned to the furnace, making it rare in the world. As for the coin itself, its artistic value far exceeds its cultural relic value. The one in this auction is also a sample coin.
