Auction: CSS92C - THE PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMIC REFERENCE COLLECTION OF THE LATE DR. WERNER BURGER - Part 3: Chinese Charms
Lot: 2260

China: Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 CE), plaque charm, obverse showing Liu Hai and toad, reverse bat, deer, peach and spider, 65.4*2.9mm, 36.1g, Zhong Qian 85. Extremely fine, extremely rare. Note: This specimen here represents an uncommon edition. The common edition shows a flying bat at 11 o'clock on the obverse; there are two upright branches above the head of the toad such that the toad looks like a long-eared rabbit. The present specimen, however, does not host these two details and therefore constitute an uncommon edition and suggest an earlier design, to which the two details were added later.


劉海戲蟾牛首掛牌花錢，背福祿壽喜，清朝（公元1644–1911），65.4*2.9mm，36.1g，中乾85。品相極美，罕見。另：該品為伏牛掛牌形花錢之異版。通常所見之牌，面十一點處有一飛蝠，劉海所戲之金蟾有長耳一雙，狀態如兔，而布氏所藏此處留白，畫面簡潔，可能為此式掛花之早期版。
