- Extremely Rare "Teng-Tien" Brass Pattern 7 Mace and 2 Candareens CHINA. Fengtien. Pattern 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar) Struck in Brass, ND (1897). PCGS SP-62 Secure Holder. L&M-467 var.; K-unlisted; KM-unlisted; cf.WS-0579; Wenchao-unlisted; Shanghai Museum-Mr. Shi Jiagan's collection-unlisted; cf.Chang Foundation-54(Aluminum); cf.Sun-I-6-01. EXTREMELY RARE. An exceptionally interesting piece featuring a significant spelling error: "Teng-tien" instead of "Feng-tien". The recent discovery of production material shed new light on the creation of this coinage. The findings included patterns, dies, hubs and a series of punches from the archives of the Otto Beh company, Esslingen, Germany. Before this, the origin of the dies used to produce coinage for the provinces of Anhwei, Chekiang, Fengtien, Heilungkiang and Sungarei was only speculated upon. Otto Beh was a specialist in the production of seals and dies. From neighboring Goppingen, Louis Schuler received an order for coining presses in 1895 and commissioned Otto Beh to manufacture the dies. In 1897 and 1898, Beh supplied Schuler with over 200 dies for Chinese coins. At the time, this was the largest order that the company had ever received. Schuler, which started as a Locksmith's shop in 1839, had grown to become one of the world's leaders in metal forming and in fact supplied the aforementioned mints with coining presses. European craftsmanship is evident when closely inspecting this piece, complete with razor-sharp details and an overall impeccable strike. Easily discernible luster surrounds the dragon and other devices, adding great eye appeal to this incredible piece. Certainly destined to hold a place of pride in the next collection it enters, and will likely inspire many conversations among enthusiasts. Estimate: $35,000 - $50,000. PCGS SP-62 Secure Holder.
