咸丰六年上海足纹银饼。咸丰六年商王永盛匠万全造上海银饼。 正文"咸丰六年上海县号商王永盛足纹银饼"，背文"朱源裕监倾曹平实重一两银匠万全造"。太平天国运动后，严重的通货膨胀导致囤银成风。这一时期，反而是西班牙8里亚尔银币在上海流通，俨然是民间的稳定货币。1856年，上海政府指派银号发行新银币，以取代西班牙8里亚尔，批淮王永盛、经正记和郁森盛发行一两及伍钱。这种银币每月发行量仅3,000枚，供不应求，再加上假币盛行，这一新造币计划仅持续了六个月。中国一两银币由上海始造，因此这是意义重大的一枚。此币底板光滑乾净，通体呈均匀深灰色包浆，图文间透出虹彩光泽。针对此评级来说品相上佳。L&M-589; K-900 (type A); WS-1122; Wenchao-pg. 274#383 (rarity two stars). Issued by Wang Yung Sheng and engraved by Wan Chaun. Obverse: "Cake (of) standard silver (from the) business firm (of) Wang Yung Sheng (in the) Shanghai district (in the) 6th year (of Emperor) Hsien Feng (1856)". Reverse: "Made (by) Wan Chuan, silversmith; Supervised (by) Chow Yuen Yu. Exact weight one Tsaoping Tael." Hyper-inflation caused by the Tai Ping Rebellion led to the hoarding of silver. At this time, foreign coins namely Spanish eight Reales, circulated in Shanghai at a considerable premium. In 1856, the Shanghai authorities authorized silversmiths to issue coinage in an attempt to replace the Spanish 8 Reales. The firms Wong Yung Sheng, Ching Cheng Chee and Yu Shen Sheng were granted permission to issue coinage in the denominations of one Tael and 5 Mace. This was a short lived coinage as the monthly output was only about 3,000 pieces and was not large enough to meet the demand. This combined with the large number of forgeries entering circulation doomed the project to a short period of only about six months. Extremely significant as the Shanghai series represents the first Tael coinage produced in China. This example exhibits smooth, clean, original fields and even deep gray toning throughout with hints of iridescence amongst the devices. A prime specimen for the assigned grade.PCGS AU-50 Secure Holder.

CHINA. Kwan Ping Trade Coinage "Chinese-Foreign Circulating Coin". Pattern 1 Mace Struck in Silver, ND (ca. 1868). NGC MS-64.L&M-598; K-926ii; K&C-21.4; Money in the Bank(Cribb)-pg.36, figure-c. Kwan Ping Trade Coinage "Chinese-Foreign Circulating Coin", pattern in silver of un-adopted design. Patterns for this series were produced based on the Maritime Customs scale in the denominations of 1 Tael, 5 Mace, 2 Mace, 1 Mace and 5 Candareens.
This rare and interesting series has long been the topic of speculation by numismatic authors in regards to the mint responsible for its manufacture and intended purpose (see Kann Illustrated Catalog of Chinese Coins pg.324/5). Previously the Berlin Mint, The Royal Mint and the Osaka Mint had been suggested as possible places of manufacture. It is now certain the dies and patterns originated in England as described by Joe Cribb in his reference Money in the Bank. The original design was proposed by W.F. Wade, Chinese Secretary of the British Legation in Peking.
Wades propositions for this pattern series were relayed on October 19th 1867 via Captain Kinder to the Governor of Hong Kong. The dies for these patterns are housed in the Royal Mint where they were deposited in 1888 by Kinders heirs after his death. Original concept drawings of the proposed coinage design, as well as correspondences from Kinder also survive in London. The dies and patterns were produced in England, with the intention of the circulating coinage to be struck by the Hong Kong mint.
However the Hong Kong Mint soon after closed, ceasing operations in April of 1868. The minting machinery was then sold the Osaka Mint in Japan. It is interesting to note that some numismatists have speculated that this issue may have been intended for use as a trade coinage with Korea. In fact the Bank of Japan has an example of the 1 Mace in its collection list as Korea. The coins are also listed in The Catalog of Korean Coins and Bank Notes also lists this series pg.171#21.1/21.4. Although use as a Sino-Korean trade coin is plausible, no solid documentation in support of this is known. EXTREMELY RARE and very interesting.NGC MS-64.Ex: Superior Galleries June 3, 4, 1991 Auction Lot#1550 "THE IRVING GOODMAN COLLECTION of Chinese Coinage".
