This specimen was lot 52188 in Stack's Bowers Hong Kong auction (Hong Kong, April 2021), where it sold for $1,980. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"[[China|CHINA]]. 2 Cash, CD (1906). PCGS MS-64 Red Brown Gold Shield. A brilliant example overall with red-brown allure and shimmering brilliance abounding throughout."</blockquote> This type was struck in 1905-08. It is dated by the two characters at 3 and 9 o'clock on the reverse, corresponding to the Chinese sixty year cyclical calendar. It is an example of the standard unified general coinage, from the Tientsin mint, and was meant to offer a unified alternative to the proliferation of provincial mint coins. The Tientsin mint also struck five, ten and twenty cash, of which the ten cash was the most popular.
