A CHINESE SILVER COIN

拍品描述

With a diameter of 4 cm and a weight of 20 grams, this circular silver coin adopts the classic traditional layout with a neat square hole cut through its centre. Four raised Chinese characters are symmetrically laid out surrounding the central aperture, rendered in elegant regular calligraphy with sharp, well-defined stroke details. A slender raised rim neatly frames the coin face. The metallic surface has developed layered aged patina and faint earthy encrustations, which further accentuate the depth of the calligraphic relief. Boasting fine casting workmanship and legible inscriptions, this numismatic piece is a valuable addition to curated collections of historic Chinese silver currency.
