Another example of a REVERSED Hammer & Sickle 200 Cash type from Szechuan-Shensi Soviet. This has a rare die clash so that the H&S appears on both sides of the coin. I acquired this 8/2011 at the Stack's Bowers & Ponterio sale # 161 in Hong Kong (Lot# 60766 Ex: Martin Jacobowitz collection w/his notes). This lot sold for a total of $190 inc.buyers fee. It was listed as Y 510 but a Reversed H&S catalogs as Y 510.4; while the die clash covers the "200", enough is visible to the r. of the H&S indicates it is not retrograde, like my outlined H&S rev. example (Y 510.5). This is another undocumented type.
