(t) CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1898). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-55.
L&M-515; cf. K-282-86 (horn types unlisted); cf. KM-Y-183 (same); WS-0361. Type 2 "pao". Variety with deer (branched) horn dragon and extended "pei". Undoubtedly one of the finest examples of the type that one can possibly hope to encounter, this near-Mint specimen features surfaces on which it is extremely hard to observe any evidence of handling. The luster remaining is fairly bold, with great problem-free fields and a subtle pastel tone throughout. A stunning representative that should generate great enthusiasm, and one that is surpassed in the PCGS census by just two others.
Estimate: $40000 - $60000
