On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes. This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after the tariffs were enacted. Accordingly, any client who wishes to take delivery of this item within the United States will be subject to a 7.5% import tariff plus a processing fee of 0.3464% (minimum $26.79/ maximum $ 519.76), at time of printing and subject to change. Please note, this is not, and is not intended to be, a complete description of the applicable import tariffs and buyer remains fully liable for and agrees to promptly pay all tariffs and fees relating to the import of these items into the United States and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor will have any responsibility to pay any applicable tariffs of fees. Please consult your tax adviser with any questions.
Furthermore, any lots subject to an import tariff will be shipped directly from our Macau offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.

Rm. 219, 2/F Ho Mongkok Shopping Centre, No.169-173
Welcome to the Champion 2024 Winter Macau Auction. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Journal of East Asian Numismatics, this is an auction with no buyer’s commission. The last auction with no buyer’s commission was in April 2018.
The auction features Heaton Shensi coins, which were the most important silver coins in the 1930s and 1940s. The 50-Cent coin (NGC SP63) and the 5-Cent coin (NGC MS63) from the 1991 Goodman Collection Auction are from the Chinese Family Collection. In addition, there is a 10-Cent coin (NGC SP66) from the NC Collection.
Another highlight are the Kiangnan silver coins, including the Circlet-Scale Dragon Dollars and Old Kiangnan Dollars. The 6-tail variety from the YIF Collection is the finest known, graded as NGC MS66. The 8-tail variety, which is also from the YIF Collection and the finest known of the variety, is graded as NGC MS61. There are two Old Kiangnan Dollars. The reeded edge variety is from the YIF Collection, NGC AU58, and the ornamental edge variety is from the Hsi/NC Collection, NGC MS62.
The 1900 Peking Dollar Restrike to be auctioned is the finest known, NGC MS64.
Other highlights from the NC Collection include a unique 1914 Dragon and Pheonix Dollar Manuscript with L. Giorgi signature, a Taiping Rebellion Silver Half Tael (NGC AU58), a 1914 10-Cash Copper coin with L. Giorgi signature (NGC MS64BN), a 1923 Civilian Tsao Kun Silver One Dollar (NGC MS64), and a 1912 Sun Yat Sen Birth of the Republic Silver One Dollar (NGC MS66).
There is also a 1907 50 Cents Silver from the Chinese Family Collection (PCGS MS62), and a 1914 Hung Hsien Birth of the Republic 10 Cash Copper from the Charles Tanant Collection (NGC MS65RD).
Other vintage coin highlights include an 1884 Kirin 5 Mace Silver (NGC AU DETAILS), a 1914 Yuan Shih-Kai 50 Cents Silver with L. Giorgi signature (NGC MS63), a 1905 Sinkiang 5 Mace Silver (PCGS MS62), a 1923 Dragon and Phoenix One Dollar Silver Large Character (NGC UNC DETAILS), and a 1934 Soviet Szechuan-Shensi One Dollar Silver with small Rosette (NGC VF35).
As for the ancient coins, the auction features knife coins from the Nai-chi Chang Collection, with a 4-character knife and a 5-character knife, graded as high as GBCA EF85.
The modern coin part highlights Chinese modern brass medals with original outer boxes from the BWS Collection. Among these medals, a set of Shanghai Tourist Commemorative Medals is graded as NGC MS69.
Finally, the chopmarked coins in this auction are from the Frank Rose Collection. It has been 30 years since Champion auctioned the Frank Rose chopmarked coin collection in the 1990s. Most of these coins were purchased by Frank Rose in the 1960s. Champion purchased the whole Frank Rose Collection with over 3,000 chopmarked coins in 1994.
We hope every collector can find a coin of interest in this auction.
古錢方面，本次拍賣最大的亮點是出自張叔馴舊藏的先秦刀幣，包括四字刀、五字刀各一把，分數均高到 GBCA EF85。 現代幣方面，本次拍賣有多套出自 BWS 收藏的中國現代黃銅紀念章，均帶有原始包裝，其中的上海風景紀念章的評分更是高達 MS69。 最後，這次拍賣也是出自 Frank Rose 的戳記幣收藏時隔30多年再次集中上拍。這些戳記幣大都是 Frank Rose 在60年代購買的。冠軍拍賣在 1994年買下了整個 Frank Rose 收藏，有超過3,000枚戳記幣，並在90年代的冠軍香港拍賣上首次集中上拍。 我們希望每一位藏家都有機會在本次拍賣中買到自己心儀的藏品。

Knife Coins from the Nai-Chi Chang Collection 張叔馴舊藏刀幣
Nai-chi Chang (張乃驥), also known as Zhang Shuxun (張叔 馴 ), courtesy name Qizhai (齊齋 ), was a real estate tycoon who lived during the early Republic of China period. Chang was a native of Nanxun Town, Zhejiang Province, and he was the seventh son of Chang Shiming (張石銘). Born into a family of scholars, Nai-chi Chang was erudite through paternal teaching and influence. Since there were many stone inscription rubbings and ancient paintings in his family collection, Chang was imperceptibly influenced by what he saw in his childhood and became an expert at appraising art. Chang was particularly interested in ancient coins and eventually became a top collector of ancient Chinese coins. Ding Fubao (丁福保), a leading numismatic authority at that time, admired that Chang's collection was the most abundant in southeast China. Luo Boshao (羅伯昭), another great collector, commented that Nai-chi Chang's collection featured many unique coins, and it was quite impressive. In 1926, Chang invited many numismatists to set up the Ancient Coin Society, the first numismatic community in China. In 1927, he started the Ancient Coin Journal ( 《古泉雜誌》), which was the first published numismatic journal in China.
Nai-Chi Chang took his place alongside Fang Yaoyu (方藥雨) of Tianjin and Luo Bozhao of Sichuan as one of the greatest numismatists during the Republic of China period, and they were called "Chang in the south, Fang in the north and Luo in Sichuan."
This auction has two knife coins from the Nai-chi Chang Collection, including a four-character one and a fivecharacter one. Both of them are graded as GBCA EF85.

Heaton 1898 Shensi
Pattern 喜敦版1898年陝西省造樣幣
In the 1930s and 1940s, the Shensi Dollar was the most important silver coin in the Chinese numismatic community. At that time, the Hunan Dollar only had records in the catalogs, and the Fengtien Tael was even not recorded. Both of them only appeared overseas and Chinese people had not witnessed them. There was a saying in Shanghai where gathered half of Chinese collectors,“A great Chinese silver coin collector must have Shensi and Fukien Dollars." This shows the preciousness and importance of the Shensi Dollar.
When the background of the Shensi Dollar was unknown, Kalgan Shih (施嘉幹) believed that it was made in the 1920s, as Shensi Province did not have its own mint until that time. In the early days, some held that the Shensi Dollar was produced by Hubei Province. Because the machines ordered by Shensi from the Heaton Mint were transferred to Hubei when the Qing government reorganized mints. Now we all know that these Shensi coins are patterns made by the Heaton Mint.
The patterns were delivered to China with the machines, but they flowed out and scattered, making it difficult for collectors to collect an entire set. Eduard Kann only had a Half Dollar one, and he never had a Shensi Dollar. Kann used a rubbing in his catalog published in 1954. It was not until the 1966 edition that there was a photo included in the catalog. According to the statement in the catalog, no one in the Shanghai numismatic community had ever seen a Shensi 20 Cent Silver before 1948. When a Shensi 20 Cent Silver first appeared in Shanghai, a collector purchased it for USD 1,200. In the Shanghai Museum, there is a One Dollar Silver donated by Lee Wei-sen (李偉先) and a Half Dollar Silver donated by Kalgan Shih. At that time, the Heaton Mint had a complete set of five denominations in addition to the record. However, the mint did not have coin dies.
In the mid-1970s, the Heaton Mint sold Chinese coins (as well as coins for other countries around the world) to the established British numismatic company Spinks. Among these coins, there are many Shensi silver coins. Most genuine coins are proof-like. However, the fake coins appeared before World War II. The English letters on the fake ones are larger and the designs of fireball and cloud are different from the genuine ones.
There were also other trail coins of Shensi in England. For instance, there was a uniface Half Dollar alloy pattern on a board on the sales list of England Format company in 1981 (LOT 117). In addition, a 20-cent copper pattern appeared on the market as well. These rare trail coins might come from the workshop of the engraver.
It is worth noting that the rosette of the Half Dollar coin is different from that of other coins in this series. The rosette on the coins of other denominations common Hubei rosette, while the rosette on the Half Dollar is longer and made of three parts. It is strange that this rosette on the Half Dollar was also used on the Anhwei, Chekiang, and Hunan coins.
Most Heaton Shensi Dollars discovered in the 1920s were not preserved well and in poor condition, not as good as
proof-like Heaton coins of Hunan, Chekiang, and Kiangnan, which were graded as PF65 or above. In the Haru Chang Collection and Liu Gai-Zao Collection, there are Shensi coins in extremely good condition, but they were not graded.
In this auction, we have a Shensi Half Dollar Silver from the Chinese Family Collection, NGC SP63, and a Shensi 10 Cent Silver from the Nelson Chang Collection, NGC SP66. In addition, there is an 1898 Shensi 5 Cent Silver Fantasy from the Chinese Family Collection, NGC MS62, which was purchased by the Chinese Family at the 1991 Goodman Collection Auction.

Circlet Scale Dragon and Old Kiangnan Dollars
The auction highlights some rare Kiangnan coins.
The 1898 Kiangnan Circlet Scale Dragon Dollar Silver is known as“ Pearl Dragon ”as the dragon's scales on this variety are quite unusual, consisting of a dot within a ring. The Circlet Scale Dragon Dollar is of great rarity due to its small mintage.
Two Circlet Scale Dragon Dollars in this auction were purchased by the consigner over 30 years ago. Champion Auction is excited to offer the finest known 6-tail variety graded NGC MS66 from the YIF Collection. Last time, Champion sold an MS65 example from the NC Collection for USD 998,000 in May 2021. There is also the finest known 8-tail variety graded NGC MS61 from the YIF Collection. It is the first time that NGC has certified an 8-tail variety.
In addition to the Circlet Scale Dragon Dollar, the Old Kiangnan Series is also popular. Champion has an AU58 example with a reeded edge from the YIF Collection, with nice original toning. In May 2021, Champion sold two inkchopped Old Kiangnan Dollars with reeded and ornamental edges from the NC Collection at USD 468,000 and USD 612,000 respectively.
Champion might be the auction house that has sold the largest number of Circlet Scale Dragon Dollars.
Michael Chou, the president of Champion Auction, first got contact with the Circlet Scale Dragon Dollar at a Long Beach show in the early 1990s, where he purchased three Circlet Scale Dragon Dollars from the BK Collection purchasing them at the 1966 Glendening Auction of the Von Halle Collection.
After Michael purchased these three coins, Chinese vintage coin collector Dr. Osmond Chan stopped by his table and saw these coins. He offered to buy the lowest-grade coin with dull toning for USD 4,000, more than 5 times what Michael had paid. Michael agreed to the price and this coin was later graded by PCGS at MS64.
Hong Kong dealer Tony Lee found out from Osmond that Michael had these dollars and came to his table. Tony offered USD 6,000 to buy the second nicest coin which was white and might have been previously cleaned. Michael agreed. Later, Tony sold this coin to a Hong Kong collector who sold his collection at a Spink auction in 1996 at a huge loss except for this coin which realized USD, 15,000, a significant increase over the original price. Later in 2021, this coin was graded by PCGS as MS65 and sold for RMB 8,050,000 (USD 1,140,000).
The third coin was a fabulous rainbow-toned coin in superb condition. It was displayed in Singapore in March 1996 as the preview of Champion’ s first Hong Kong auction in June 1996 at the Holiday Inn, Golden Mile. Before the auction, Peter Chou, Michael Chou’s brother, came in contact with
Mr. Lee of W&B Capital. Mr. Lee saw the coin and wanted to buy it in a private purchase. Michael agreed to a price of USD 15,500, which was above the record for this coin. After the sale, some Hong Kong dealers familiar to Mr. Lee told him that he overpaid. However, in the summer of 1996 when the Hong Kong collector sold Tony ’s example for USD 15,000, Mr. Lee was quite happy, as his coin was much superior, and this coin became one of his favorite coins from the collection. The W&B Capital example realized USD 420,000 in 2015.
In 1996, a Circlet Scale Dragon Dollar was auctioned by Champion. It is from a group of Kiangnan coins from a Nanking source in the early 1990s purchased by Michael’ s friend Chen Yuan Ho.
It was many years afterward that Michael came into contact with the Kiangnan Circlet Scale Dragon Dollar again through his friend Nelson Chang.
Nelson had three examples of the Circlet Scale Dollars, with two of the regular 6-tail variety and one of the rarer 8-tail variety. The 8-tail variety was sold to a Taiwan collector, but it was not certified by the grading company as the 8-tail variety.
Later in 2021, one of the 6-tail variety Circlet Scale Dragon Dollar with wonderful rainbow toning graded NGC MS65 from the NC Collection was auctioned in Macau for a record USD 996,000 as mentioned above to a friend who earlier also purchased the W&B capital example. This friend also purchased the two above-mentioned ink-chopped 1897 Old Kiangnan Dollars from the NC Collection in the Champion May 2021 Auction.
Also, there is also another superb example with original envelope toning, NGC MS 65, from the Howard Bowker Collection, which was donated to the Shanghai Mint Museum through the help of Champion Auction.
2021年，張南琛收藏中的一枚幻彩包漿六根尾鰭版珍珠龍在冠軍澳 門拍賣上以 99.6 萬美元的價格成交，該幣評級為 NGC MS65 。購買 了這枚銀幣的朋友也以 42 萬美元的價格買下了 W&B Capital 手中 的那枚珍珠龍。這位買家也在冠軍 2021 年 5 月澳門拍賣上買下了上 文提到的兩枚帶墨戳的齒邊版和人字邊版老江南銀幣。

The Circlet Scale Dragon Dollar is one of the rarest Chinese dragon dollars in uncirculated grade, and the 8 tail variety is much rarer than the 6 tail variety. Champion has handled more than 10 examples of the Circlet Scale Dragon Dollars in uncirculated grade. This is the only 2nd example and the finest known example. The other 8 tail example we have handled is the one from the NC Collection, NGC UNC DETAILS, that we sold in private treaty.
Though issued by the Taiping rebels more than 150 years ago, the Taiping silver cash coins were virtually unknown until the definitive article on them by Bruce W. Smith was published in World Coin News for April 25, 1978. These coins are unique in Chinese numismatic history because they are neither cast nor struck, but are hand-engraved. Both the inscriptions and the borders are carved by hand. Two denominations are known, based on their weights –half tael (32mm 17.5 grams) and quarter tael (28mm 8.3 grams) – though the size and weight varies from coin to coin. Smith's article not only introduced the series, but proved that they were genuine coins used in the Taiping capital of Nanking in 1860. These coins had never been published in China, and collectors there were reluctant to accept them as genuine, until another article (based largely on the first article) was published in Chinese by Dr. Che-lu Tseng in Zhongguo Qianbi (1989 #1). Afterward they were included in the second edition (1994) of Ma Dingxiang's definitive catalog on Taiping coins, Taiping Tianguo Qianbi. It should be noted that the Taiping silver cash illustrated in the Kann catalog (Kann 8k) is a fantasy, possibly an ordinary brass coin which has been silver plated. His listing for Kann 8, however, is the half tael coin, but Kann was unaware that the coin was engraved.
Chinese collectors had been unable to find any written references to Taiping silver coins, but such references do exist in western language writings of the 1800's. The earliest numismatic reference to Taiping silver coins is found in an article by P. O. Van der Chijs published in the 1863 issue of the Revue de la Numismatique Belge. Chijs reported that Gustave Schlegel, a government translator of Chinese in Batavia (now Jakarta in Indonesia) had presented to the coin cabinet of the University of Leyden (in the Netherlands) some Ch'ing dynasty copper coins. He also sent a drawing of a silver Taiping coin, which belonged to an American missionary in Canton. The illustration published in that issue clearly shows one of the engraved silver coins, and from the description, we know it was a half tael. This same illustration appears in a four volume catalog of siege and necessity coins compiled by Prosper Mailliet, which was published over the years 1868-1873. A half tael coin was sold in the 1878 Berlin sale of the Fonrobert collection of world coins. In the 1880 issue of the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society (North China Branch), the prominent collector of Chinese coins, Stephen W. Bushell (1844-1908), who lived in China from 1868 to 1899, published a long article on Ch'ing Dynasty coins. In that article he writes: "Silver coins of different denominations were issued by the Taiping rebels with the legend Tien Kuo Sheng Pao." The half tael and quarter tael coins were in the George Glover collection (now at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC), and were illustrated in the catalog of that collection prepared by James H. Stewart Lockhart in 1895.
Among non-numismatic references to Taiping silver coins, in Mesny's Chinese Miscellany of June 18, 1896, William Mesny recounts his experience as a prisoner of the Taiping rebels during 1860. He ended up spending quite some time with them, and mentions that they minted coins in Nanking
in copper, silver and gold.
In addition, there is the account of Robert J. Forrest, British consul at Ningpo, who visited Nanking in March 1861. In Lindsey Brine's 1862 book, The Taeping Rebellion, Forrest wrote:"...the Taipings have a silver currency of a very convenient size and value. The common coin is of the size of a shilling, but worth rather more; it is exactly like a copper cash, and has an inscription engraved on it. A large silver coin of the value of a sovereign exists, but I have seen none." The coin about the size of a shilling (about 25mm) must be the quarter tael. The coin of the value of a sovereign probably refers to the Taiping gold cash coin. The most convincing evidence, however, is a letter preserved in the British Museum written to the same Robert J. Forrest mentioned above. Forrest had asked Li Ming-ch'eng, a high Taiping official, for some samples of Taiping coins. In a letter dated 19 June 1861, Li writes: "Herewith I am presenting to you the sacred money of our country, as you have requested. There are twenty dollars' worth of silver coins and ten dollars' worth of copper coins. Would you please kindly accept them and keep them for your pleasure." Li later sent Forrest some samples of the Taiping "flowery" money.
It is easy to understand why the Taiping silver coins are so rare today and why collectors in China were unaware of them. When Chinese government forces finally captured Nanking, the Taiping capital, they slaughtered the people there and left the city uninhabited. Afterwards it was too dangerous to possess Taiping coins, and they must have been melted. This would also explain why most of the known examples of these coins have been found outside of China, in the collections of foreigners.
In this auction, there is the finest known example from the NC Collection, NGC AU58.
中國收藏家一直找不到有關任何此幣的參考資料，但是早在 19 世紀 的時候，這方面的資料就已經存在於西方文獻中。最早關於此幣的記 載是1863年P. O. Van der Chijs在《Revue de la Numismatique Belge》發表的文章。Chijs說，Gustave Schlegel是一位在 巴達維亞 （今印尼首都雅加達）為中國政府擔任翻譯的工作人員，將一些中國 清代銅幣贈送給了荷蘭萊頓大學（University of Leyden）的錢幣陳 列館。一起贈送的還有一張太平天國銀幣的圖樣，本屬於廣州一位美 國傳教士。文中還清晰地刊登了一枚雕刻的太平天國銀幣，從描述中 我們得知這是一枚半兩銀幣。這部分內容後來還被原封不動地刊登 在了Prosper Mailliet編譯的《Catalog of Siege and Necessity Coins》，此圖錄共分 4 冊，1868-1873 年間出版。1878 年，一枚半兩 太平天國銀幣在德國柏林的 Fonrobert 世界錢幣專場拍賣會上售 出。在1880年出版的《皇家亞洲文會北華分會期刊》（the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society）中，有位著名中國錢幣收藏家Stephen W. Bushell（生卒：1844-1908年，1868-1899年居住中國），發表了 一篇有關清代錢幣的長篇要文。他在文中寫道：“太平軍發行了‘天國 聖寶’字樣的各種面值的銀幣。”1/2 兩銀幣和 1/4 兩銀幣是 George Glover的藏品（現保存于華盛頓的史密森尼博物館），1895年被收錄 在駱哈特（James H. Stewart Lockhart）編寫整理的有關這個收藏 的圖錄中。

US $10,000-20,000
Only a few Taiping silver coins have been graded by the grading services and this is the finest known 1/2 tael coin. Another 1/2 tael coin was from the Howard Franklin Bowker Collection graded by NGC and donated to the Shanghai Mint Museum through the assistance of Champion Auction. It is an important historic and financial document of the Chinese rebellion against the Ching government and brought back by British mercenary.
In 1884, the Kirin Armory produced a series of One Tael silver coins, opening the new era of machine-struck dragon dollars in China. The obverse of the Kirin One Tael silver Dollar was engraved with the Chinese character“Shou”in a round style, which means "longevity." The center features a box embraced by a pair of dragons. Within the box are twelve characters arranged in three rows, which read: “made by Kirin Armory in 1884." The reverse has a box with four characters inside that read:“ Chang Ping One Tael." Surrounding this box are four Manchu characters that read: “Kirin,”“Ping,”“One,”and“Tael.”Researchers believe that Wu Dacheng created the design and legends for this coin.
According to their records, the Kirin Armory produced a total of 4,380 pieces of the 1884 Kirin silver series, including 198 One Taels, 1,071 Seven Mace, 1,420 Half Taels, 866 Three Mace, and 825 One Mace, with a total weight of 1,996 Taels and 4 Mace.
In the March 2003 Champion-ebay Taiwan auction a Kirin Armory One Tael sold for USD 87,552 to Aki Linden; in June 2006, Beijing Guardian offered two versions of the One Mace from the Ma Dingxiang collection; the rarer version sold for RMB 580,000 (plus 10% commission) and the regular version sold for RMB 80,000 (plus 10% commission). In November 2006, the Beijing Guardian auction house sold a One Tael with a bald dragon for RMB 660,000. In April 2009, Hong Kong Champion Auctions sold a proof Half Tael for USD 45,000.
In addition, a unique set of spelter patterns of the 1884 Kirin Arsenal coins from the Woodward-Kann-NC collection was certified through PHOTO PROOFS by NGC. This extremely rare pattern set came from Huang Chang ( 張璜 ) of Hong Kong for USD 10,000 in 1976. This set of patterns was likely produced by a western minting official. These are unique pieces of minting history and China's first Western style coinage.
Champion sold an 1884 half tael in NGC MS62 and a one mace in NGC EF 40 from the NC Collection to a Taiwan collector by private treaty.
In this auction, there is an 1884 Kirin 5 Mace Silver, NGC AU58.

1900 Peking Dollar 1900年庚子京局銀元
The 1900 Peking Dragon Silver Dollar series is famous among collectors of Chinese coins. Kann published information about the Peking Dollar for the first time in his 1954 catalog. In Kann's account of how the actual coining dies were bought and sold, it seems that the final sale of the Peking Dragon Dollar dies was to a Shanghai collector who moved to Hong Kong in 1947. Although the final sale date is unknown, it may have been during or after the anti-Japanese war. Most collectors agree the One Dollar and Half Dollar were not made by the Peking mint in 1900 but were probably made privately in the 1940s. The Ch'uan Pi ( 《泉幣》 ) magazine reported the first 10 Cents was believed to be a product of the Peking mint, in the 1940s. James Sweeny referred to the Peking 1900 series in an article published in the Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN). Both Richard Wright (who owned the original 20 and 10 Cents proofs) and Bruce Smith added information to the Peking series in JEAN.
New developments concerning the 1900 Peking series occurred in recent years. The British numismatic firm of Spink's offered two and a half piefort sets of Peking coins with matte proof finish and plain edges. A set of matte proofs with edge numbers was sold by private treaty. In the 1980s, the British Royal Mint tested Kann's specimen of the Peking Dollar and Sweeny's Peking set. In 1994 and 1995, Champion sold Kann's Peking Dollar and Sweeny's Peking set to two Chinese collectors in the United States. In December 2014, the James Sweeny-Kann collection Peking 1900 restrike set was auctioned again by Champion to a Chinese private museum for USD 414,000 in Macau.

This is a famous 1900 Peking Dollar Restrike. Eduard Kann had two examples and we handle both examples in the 1990s. One One was sold to a Chinese doctor in 1994 JEAN Mail Auction at USD 24,200 and later graded by PCGS as MS63. The other Kann example from the Sweeny Collection was graded NGC MS 61 and sold by Champion in 1995 and again in 2014. Champion submitted to NGC the W&B Capital example which was graded NGC MS63 and later sold at auction for around US 150,000 more than 10 years ago. Champion once sold a complete set for USD 46,000 in 1995 JEAN Mail Auction, which was sold by Champion for USD 414,000 in 11/2014. This example is the finest known at NGC MS64 and a great opportunity to add this great rarity to any collection.

1914 Dragon and Phoenix Dollar Manuscript with L. Giorgi Signature 1914年 L. Giorgi 簽字龍鳳壹圓銀幣手稿
The manuscript of the 1923 Dragon and Pheonix Dollar is the only original manuscript of the Chinese coin in a private collection. Previously, it was believed that this silver coin was issued to commemorate the wedding of Puyi, the last deposed emperor of China.
This mysterious manuscript first appeared in November 1993, when it was auctioned by Money Company. Chinese numismatic researcher Bruce W. Smith purchased this artwork for Nelson Chang (NC Collection).
We compared the signature on the manuscript with that on a document proving his work at the Tientsin Mint released by L. Giorgi’s grandson. We found that the two signatures are exactly the same.
However, why is the date on the manuscript 1914 instead of 1923 when the coin was officially issued? This is due to the fact that this design was originally made to replace the Yuan Shih-Kai silver coin, but it was not put into production at that time. In 1923, it was proposed to issue silver coins to replace Yuan Shih-kai silver coins again. This time, the Dragon and Phoenix silver coins were issued. The design on the coins symbolizes the country rather than an individual. Additionally, we can notice that there is the signature Hsu Un Yuen at the bottom right corner of the manuscript. This is the spelling of the name of the first president of the Bank of China. Hsu was also in his tenure at the Currency Bureau of the Ministry of Finance in 1914.
It is a good opportunity to acquire this unique manuscript.

It is an American merchant advertising token at the end of the 19th century. It was made of a Qianlong Tongbao copper coin from the Baoquan Bureau of the Qing Dynasty. Its rim is inscribed with "CHINA-LYON-HALL&Co-JAPAN./BALTIMORE" and “CHINA-INDIA-JAPAN./MATTING IMPORTERS". It is extremely rare for Qing Dynasty copper coins to be repurposed as advertising tokens.
Lyon-Hall was a company registered in Baltimore, USA, in the early 19th century, specializing in the sale of rugs imported from various Asian countries. According to Russell Rulau's note on page 54 of United States Trade Tokens 1866-1889, the Lyon-Hall & Co.was originally called Lyon & Co.. It was founded in 1881 by J. Crawford Lyon and William A. Lyon, with its headquarter at 234 West Baltimore Street in Baltimore, Maryland. The company primarily dealt in the rug business. In 1884, John W. Hall became a partner, and the company was renamed Lyon-Hall & Co., expanding into the import trade, mainly importing rugs from Asian countries such as China, Japan, and India. The headquarter moved to 8 West Baltimore Street in 1887, then to 105 Hopkins Plaza in 1890, and finally to 6 South Street in 1892. In 1895, John W. Hall withdrew from the company, and its name was reverted to Lyon-Hall & Co.

”英文字樣，此種清代銅錢改為廣告幣使用非常少見 The Lyon-Hall 是 19 世紀初在美國巴爾的摩註冊的一家專營銷售從亞洲諸國進口地毯飾品的公司。據 Russell Rulau 在《美國貿易代幣 1866-1889》第54 頁注釋：Lyon-Hall & Co.公司最初叫Lyon & Co公司，由J. Crawford Lyon 和 William A. Lyon在1881 創建，當時總部 在馬里蘭州巴爾的摩市的巴爾的摩西街 234 號。主要經營地毯生意。1884 年，John W. Hall入股，公司改名為 Lyon-Hall & Co.，並開始從事 進口貿易，主要從亞洲的中國、日本、印度等國進口地毯。公司總部於 1887 年搬到了西巴爾的摩街 8 號，1890 年搬到了霍普金斯廣場 105 號，1892 年搬到了南街 6 號。1895 年，John W. Hall退出，公司名字又改回Lyon-Hall & Co. EF,RARE,BWS收藏 US $100-200

1979 Shanghai Tourist Commemorative Medal 上海風景紀念章
In 1979, the Shanghai Tourist Commemorative Medal manufactured by the Shanghai Mint was issued, becoming the first set of brass coin shaped medals publicly issued by China, famous among Chinese brass medals. In two books introducing coin shaped medals in the 1980s, this set of medals was listed as the first set and was included in the catalog as a rarity. It has a high reputation among the collectors, as a rarity in the pursuit of collectors, hardly seen in auctions.
Four medals in the set have four different themes, including the Bund, Longhua Temple, Yu Garden and Jade Buddha Temple, with eight different patterns.
The government attached great importance to medals of this kind to earn foreign exchanges, which is shown on its exquisite design and craft. The medals were designed by three masters from the Shanghai Mint. Mr. Chen Jian, the father of Chinese panda gold coins, designed and engraved both sides of the Bund medal and the Buddha statue of Longhua Temple medal; Mr. Sun Qiling, a painter now living in Milan, Italy, designed and engraved both sides of Yu Garden medal; Mr. Tong Youming designed and engraved both sides of the Jade Buddha Temple and the temple side of the Longhua Temple medal.
When it was release in the 1980s, this set of medals were only available at the Friendship Store which could only paid by foreign exchange coupons. The price of a complete set was only 7 USD. It was expensive for ordinary Chinese people at that time, so it was hardly spread in China. Those foreigners who purchased the medals might not be collectors, so they only collected them as souvenir. Therefore, these medals came to the market occasionally. Now the price has increased a thousand times.
During his time in China, collector BWS also collected a set of Shanghai Tourist Commemorative Medals in original hand woven brocade package which also shows the importance that the country attaches to this type of medal. This set of medals now graded as NGC MS69 will be auctioned this time.
All of these medals from the BWS Collection have original outer boxes amd have not gotten the NCS service, so there is a great opportunity for upgrade.
而國家對此類銅章的重視程度也體現在手工編織的鍛面錦匣上。 藏家 BWS 在中國期間也曾收藏到一套原包裝的“上海風景紀念章”， 更難得的是銅章保存至今仍然品相如初，經評 NGC MS69，將在本 次拍賣上拍。
本次出自 BWS 收藏的這些紀念章皆帶有原包裝，且未經 NCS 養護， 很有升分的機會。

A Reflection on the Founding of PMG and the Early Days of Paper Money Grading
◎ Richard Stelzer〔USA〕
It is with fond memories that I look back and reflect upon my lifetime journey in the world of coins and currency. My journey started with the finding of a 1959 U.S. Lincoln Memorial Cent which marked the 50th Anniversary of the Lincoln Cent that was first minted in 1909. That coin spurred me to get interested and discover a love of history in collecting numismatic items. During my childhood, my mother worked for the local police department in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and every Friday night she would bring me a $50 bag of pennies from the parking meters to search. One night I remember finding a 1910-S penny and the excitement of that as a young boy still carries with me to this day. Through my high school and college years, I would collect coins and currency as my funds permitted. After graduating from college, I had a brief employment period with the City Planning and Zoning Department of Sioux Falls before following my heart to become a coin dealer. I proceeded to open up a coin shop in Sioux Falls in the late 1970s and that shop still exists today. Like many collectors and dealers, my interests started as a coin collector but quickly expanded to include currency. During the 1980s and 1990s, I attended numerous local, regional and national coin shows where I met a number of lifelong friends in the numismatic industry, including Glen Jorde, a nationally known paper money dealer and collector from Devil's Lake, North Dakota, who became one of those lifelong friends. From the mid-1990s through 2004, I started to attend more and more national shows and began to expand my knowledge and interest in both United States and foreign currency. During this time, third-party grading of coins became much more popular and accepted within the collecting community due to efforts of companies such as ANACS, PCGS and NGC. Due to the popularity of the third-party grading for coins, a need arose for the third-party grading of currency within the collectibles industry as well. Recognizing this need, Mark Salzberg and Steve Eichenbaum of NGC approached Glen Jorde, who then approached me about the possibility of starting a thirdparty grading service for paper money which is now known as the Paper Money Guarantee company "PMG". In January of 2005, Glen Jorde and I then moved to Sarasota, Florida to help start PMG, thus beginning the next chapter in my life.
During the early months of PMG our emphasis was on U.S. currency, however this changed very quickly when we expanded our efforts to grading Canadian as well as other
foreign currencies. Around late 2006 a major interest in the third-party grading of foreign notes occurred, specifically in Korea. This movement was spearheaded by the efforts of Nam Chong Cho, a well-known currency dealer from South Korea living in Chicago. This boom in the grading of Korean currency in 2007 and 2008 really introduced PMG and thirdparty grading into the Asian numismatic market for coins and paper money. At this time, I met Michael Chou, President of Champion Auction, who recognized the popularity and potential effect that third-party graded currency had on the Korean market and wished to expand this popularity to other Asian markets by featuring PMG graded notes at his auctions in Hong Kong and Macau. Champion Auction became the first Asian based auction company to use PMG for Chinese and Singapore notes, thus continuing to expand the PMG footprint in the Asian market. At the urging of Michael Chou, I made my first trip to Hong Kong in 2009 where I attended a seminar with Macau banknote collector Zhang An Sheng and gave a presentation on third-party grading and PMG's process of grading currency. Since my first trip to Hong Kong in 2009, I have made many more trips to Asia over the past 15 years spanning from Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing and Bangkok. I even spent the entire summer of 2012 in Shanghai and Beijing interacting with Asian currency and coin dealers and collectors from the area. In 2014 I attended my first of many Macau Coin and Currency Shows as well as seminars. During these trips I have made many friends in the Asian numismatic industry including Michael Chou, Jeffrey Wai, Nam Chong, King Lam Chan, David Chio, Charlie Chang, C.S. Wong, Winston Koike, George Lim, Zhang An Sheng, Alex Fung, Peter Yeung, Joe Lang, Jim Anderson, Adam Biagi, Colin Gullberg, Yuan Shuiqing and many others just to name a few.
Since helping to start PMG in 2005, I have witnessed and participated in the global expansion of PMG and third-party paper grading. Those changes include opening PMG offices and approximately 20 submission centers all over the world ranging from Hong Kong, Shanghai, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, England, Germany just to name a few. I have been proud to watch and participate in PMG's expansion of thirdparty grading in the global markets, and look forward to seeing this trend continue and progress even further.
The Journal of East Asian Numismatics
Bilingual (English-Chinese) Digital Quarterly
In 1994, The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN) was founded by Michael Chou, the CEO of Champion Auction and Bruce Smith, a noted numismatist. It is a professional numismatic academic journal whose mission is to educate collectors and researchers on the subjects of Chinese numismatics, culture and history.
Bruce Smith, the chief editor of JEAN, was born in 1951 in St. Louis, MO. He received his BA in history from the University of Missouri St. Louis; and his MA in China studies from Harvard University. In 1974-1977, he worked for Krause Publications as Editorial Assistant on World Coin News and as cataloger for Standard Catalog of World Coins and Standard Catalog of World Paper Money. He was a full time coin dealer 1977-1987. In 1988-1989, he studied in China as a student of China Studies in Chengchow (Zhengzhou) University, Henan province. In 1991-1993, Mr. Smith was a graduate student at Harvard University. In 1994-1998, he was the editor of The Journal of East Asian Numismatics (JEAN). Bruce Smith has been a collector and researcher of Chinese coins for over 30 years. His published research in JEAN has added immensely to the body of knowledge for Chinese coins. The first issue of JEAN was released in July 1994, and the last issue (18th issue) in 1998. Most articles were written in English, and the remainder in Chinese. The journal was distributed in over 20 countries, and remained a mainstay on many important library shelves, including the Smithsonian Institution, the British Museum, the Harvard Yenching Library, Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, Stanford University, Cornell University, the ANS (American Numismatic Society), and the ANA (American Numismatic Association). The journal enjoyed great popularity and many important articles were published in JEAN, including Peking Coins of 1900 by James Sweeny, More on the Hsu Shih-Chang Pavillion Medalswithengravednames and ThetruestoryofChina's1936and1937
Silver Dollars by Bruce Smith, TheApparentRelationshipbetween1897 Chekiang5CentsPatternand1899Anhwei5-CentsCirculationStrike by Tom Keener, andAForgeryofTaiwan'sOldManDollar by Dr. Che-lu Tseng. In May 2015, Michael Chou decided to start issuing the journal again starting in January 2016. The famous numismatic researcher Mr. Yuan Shuiqing will be Chinese chief editor. He is a member of the China Numismatic Society, serving as executive director of the Shenxi Numismatic Society and executive vice president of the Xi'an Collectors Association. As a numismatic researcher, he was chief editor of Collections and China Numismatics. He has published over 100 numismatic research articles and the masterpiece TheEliteofMonetaryHistoryofChina. Other distinguished contributors from home and abroad are numismatists, collectors and coin dealers, including Bruce Smith (author of Howard Franklin Bowker-Numismatic Pioneer), Colin Gullberg (Canada, author of Chopmarked Coins-A History), Chinese American senior numismatist Dr. Che-lu Tseng, Steve Feller former international banknote society editor, senior numismatic scholar of China modern gold and silver commemorative coins King L. Chan (Hong Kong), senior numismatist Chien Fu Chou (Taiwan) and CEO of Beijing Coins website Richard Guo. It will be a quarterly, bilingual e-journal, covering the latest numismatic researches, interviews with famous collectors, auction reviews, and general news. The Journal's distribution is now over 1,000, including over 3,000 in Greater China region.
Starting in 2017, The Journal of East Asian Numismatics is a co-sponsor of Krause's Coin of the Year Award Ceremony in World Money Fair, Berlin. You are welcome to subscribe, submit articles for publication, and advertise in the upcoming JEAN. The 2025 subscription is free of charge. Please send your email to jeanzg1994@163.com
