CHINA. Fengtien. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). Fengtien Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-50.
L&M-472; K-244; KM-Y-87; WS-0584. Variety with wide-mouthed dragon. The RARER of the two dragon types for the year, this lightly handled specimen stands as a stunning and resounding survivor, with a mostly almond-gray nature that yields to some lighter amber-olive hues sprinkled throughout. A bit of striking weakness is noted upon the characters side, and a few stray marks are noted in the field of the dragon side, but this crown nevertheless stands as one of the finer of the type that one can hope to encounter.
Ex: Irving Goodman Collection (Superior - 6/1991) Lot # 404.
Estimate: $30000 - $40000
