CHINA. Honan. 10 Cash, ND (1905). PCGS Genuine--Bent, VF Details Secure Holder. CL-HON.05; CCC-528; Y-108a; Duan-2694; W-Unlisted. VERY RARE. Dies thought to be prepared in Japan. Different spelling of province name as "HOU - NAN" instead of the normal "HO - NAN". The speculation as to the origins of these pieces is based on the spelling of the province name coupled with the Chinese and English pronunciation verse the Japanese pronunciation of "O", which has a long tone and is often written as "OU". It is also believed that there are approximately 10 examples known to exist. Very interesting and deserving of further in depth research. The noted defect of being "Bent" is minor bowing probably caused by the hit mark at 12 o'clock on the reverse. Wear and contact marks consistent for the grade with minor debris amongst the devices. Overall a presentable example despite the noted defects. Estimate: $700 - $1,000. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Ex: R. B. White. PCGS #530089.
