(t) CHINA. Fengtien. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). Fengtien Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-472; K-244; KM-Y-87; WS-0584. Variety with wide-mouthed dragon. An IMMENSE RARITY, this stunning specimen--already the much more difficult of the two dragon types for the year--offers a sublime level of engaging eye appeal though its steely gray hue, hints of burnished toning, and resounding lustrous brilliance radiating throughout. Virtually never seen in conditions of Mint State, this exquisite specimen is rather unsurprisingly tied with just two others for the top spot in the PCGS census, and is one of just five to attain an uncirculated status in their records. As such, an incredible opportunity for the advanced cabinets dedicated to Fengtien, or to superlative vintage Chinese more broadly. To view all items from the KL Collection, click here.
