This specimen was lot 53115 in Stack's Bowers Hong Kong auction (Hong Kong, April 2021), where it sold for $15,600. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[China|CHINA]]. [[China, Hunan Province|Hunan]]. Tael, ND (1909). NGC AU-50. Issued by the Ta Ching Government Bank. Quite elegant despite its crude nature, this piece offers a solid strike with clear characters and only lightly scattered marks and edge splits. A hint of deposits highlights the characters, especially upon the reverse." This is not listed in the SCWC, likely because it was issued by a bank, not by a government mint.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 35.9 g, silver.

''Catalog reference:'' L&M-396; K-962.
