Shimmering & Glistening Pattern from Year 5 of Taisho
JAPAN. Copper Sen Pattern, Year 5 (1916). Osaka Mint. Yoshihito (Taisho). NGC MS-64 Brown.
KM-Pn43; JNDA-Unlisted; JC-Unlisted; Jacobs/Vermeule-Unlisted; Bank of Japan Collection-174. Supremely delightful to behold, this enchanting and VERY RARE pattern issue is replete with mint red despite the designation as brown by NGC. A sanguine nature highlights perfectly, radiating from the central sun motif on the obverse, and makes this pattern glow with the full beauty that perfectly represents Nippon, land of the rising sun. Details are strongly applied, demonstrating the remarkable precision of the Osaka Mint, and this precision is untainted by contact. Most assuredly worthy of a premium bid, especially when considering the Jacobs pedigree attached to this piece.
Estimate: $7,000 - $10,000.
Provenance: Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection.

晶螢剔透大正五年銅樣幣
日本大正五年一錢銅樣幣。大阪造幣廠。
極其罕見的樣幣，雖 NGC 標注為棕色，但其原廠紅光充盈。亮麗悅目，正面太陽圖案亦熠熠生輝，完美詮釋了日本的原意-太陽升起之地。細節強勁，不負大阪鑄幣廠盛名的標緻性精細壓鑄。Jacobs集藏的名譽令此枚更上一層，定引起藏家的激烈競投。
