- CHINA. Pattern 10 Cash, ND (1912-18). PCGS MS-62 BN Secure Holder. CL-MG.62; CCC-688; W-971 (A-1); KM-Pn5; Duan-3098. A pattern ten cash with the portrait of would-be emperor Yuan Shih-Kai. Woodward (p. 123) quotes early numismatist Guiseppi Ros as follows: "The two coins are samples from the Wuchang mint, where an issue of them was being prepared, but was suspended after the departure of then vice president Li for Peking. The die for no. 972 was engraved by Wang Shao-Hsien and that for no. 971 by Chu Tsü-fang. Of the latter a few specimens were stamped and presented to officials, but the former was not approved, owing, I was told, to the disproportion in the size of the decoration worn by Yüan Shih-K'ai." Well struck with smooth glossy surfaces displaying a pleasing mahogany patina with a few hints of red. Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Ex: R. B. White.

Tracey Woodward在The Minted Ten-Cash Coins of China 中（原書中文印製譯名《中國鑄造十文銀幣》有刊誤，應為《中國鑄造十文銅幣》）援引錢幣專家Guiseppi Ros的說法稱："武昌造幣廠製作的袁像共和紀念樣幣有兩個版本，自黎元洪離開武昌赴北京就職後便停造了。編號972（大面像）為王少賢所刻，而971（小面像）則為朱子芳所刻。最終，造幣廠製出部分小面像樣幣分發予各官員，而大面像版式則未獲發行，我聽說是因為袁世凱所佩勛章比例不合而致。"深打，底板平滑亮澤，閃耀悅目棕色光芒，亦透出少許紅色。
