CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1897). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Chopmark, AU Details.
L&M-210B; cf. K-66D (unbarred As); KM-Y-145; WS-0788. Variety with unconnected (1 stroke) "sheng", reeded edge, and unbarred As in "KIANGNAN". A RARE type featuring a departure from the "herringbone" style edge, this charming crown also displays As in the province name that essentially as "Λ" given that their crossbars are incredibly weak. A few light chopmarks are noted on the characters side, but this example still offers great overall detail, with a delightful burnished nature noted at the edges.
Estimate: $15000 - $25000
