(t) CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1904). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58.
L&M-552B; K-488; KM-Y-183A.2; WS-0481. Variety with small (short) "chia", small ying-yang, and with inverted "A" in place of "V" in "PROVINCE". Despite some light striking weakness, this stately example presents an elegant overall appearance, though problem-free surfaces, solid remaining lustrous brilliance, and an alluring almond-gray tone observed throughout. A great representative of the emission from a popular mint.
Estimate: $10000 - $20000
