(t) CHINA. Anhwei. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). Anking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-63.
L&M-203; K-53; KM-Y-45.5; WS-1080. Variety with large rosettes and flat "si". A great RARITY, especially so tantalizingly Choice as is the case here, this shimmering example from a popular and difficult province presents a tremendous argent nature, with just a hint of champagne-hued color at the peripheries. Some minor striking weakness near the outer portions is observed, but that engaging aspect of the radiant luster makes such matters rather trivial and easily overlooked. Undoubtedly a specimen that should generate great attention and enthusiasm.
Estimate: $30000 - $50000
