- Legendary An-Hui "Fang Kong" Square Hole Ten Cash CHINA. Anhwei. Pattern 10 Cash, ND (1902-06). NGC MS-65 BN. CL-AH.02; Duan-0584; CCC-47-1; Y-39.2. EXTREMELY RARE with only about 20 examples known. Characteristic die break at 11 o'clock on the obverse. Elegant rendition of the "Water dragon" with English spelling of province name as "AN-HUI" above, "TEN CASH" below widely spaced; Reverse: Central inscription "Guang Xu yuan bao" (Guangxu era) within beaded border, "An Hui sheng zao" (made in Anhwei province) above, "Mei yuan dang zhi qian shi wen" (Equal to ten Cash) below, Manchu "Boo Wan" at sides. Struck in the style of earlier square hole ten cash with a modern sophistication displaying a beautifully executed "Water Dragon" far more refined than seen on later issues. Sharply struck with every detail fully defined leaving nothing to the imagination. Beautiful smooth chocolate brown patina with iridescent hues amongst the devices that pop out when tilted in the light. Truly and excellent example sure to excite the connoisseur of Chinese copper coins. Estimate: $30,000 - $40,000. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Ex: R. B. White. NGC MS-65 BN. 傳奇安徽方孔十文 安徽省造光緒元寶十文銅元。 樣幣。 極其珍罕，已知存世僅約20枚。正面十一點鐘方向有模具開裂痕跡。正面為雅緻的水龍圖樣，英文省名"AN-HUI"居上，面值"TEN CASH"居下，兩詞間距較大。背面中部為"光緒元寶"字樣，珠圈環繞，上鑄"安徽省造"，下鑄"每元當制錢十文"，滿文"寳皖"。版式參考了方孔銅錢，但設計遠為精美，富有時代特色，尤其是水龍圖案比其後發行的款式都要對稱和諧。深打，細節纖毫畢現，絲滑巧克力色表面，光下可見圖文區閃爍虹彩。定令中國銅幣藏家愛不釋手。
