Description: Certification: http://www.tianquanjianding.com.cn/list.php?id=68789431 There are coins that in their time were failures but today are highly prized legendary coins. This is the case with the coins known as Shanghai tael. This never-adopted design and denomination is a highlight of any auction and a prize piece for any collection. Two different designs for the Hong Kong Shanghai tael coins were produced, both dated 1867. The main difference between the two designs is one has rays on the dragon side and one does not. The version of the no-rays coin was produced only as a pattern coin, but the design with rays was mass produced. However, most were melted before being released for circulation. Both coins today are extremely rare and highly desirable. They are both considered one of the great treasures for Chinese silver coinage. This item is sold as is, with all faults.
