CHINA. Kansu. Dollar, Year 17 (1928). Lanchow Mint. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details.
L&M-618; K-760; KM-Y-410; WS-0720. A VERY RARE and eminently desired type, this piece--featuring a frontal portrait of Sun Yat-sen similar to the "Mausoleum" Dollar--displays the emblem of the Kuomintang upon the reverse, and is so difficult to acquire that fantasies of it are hotly contested as well. For the connoisseur seeking the original, authentic product, and one that has experienced only light wear and minor cleaning, the present specimen will absolutely meet such demands. Pleasingly toned and a stately overall rendition of type. To view all items from the Nine Dragons Collection, click here.
