Republic Yuan Shih-kai "Plumed Hat" Dollar ND (1914) MS65+ PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y322, L&M-858, Kann-642, Chang-CH214, WS-0094. A top tier representative from this highly collectible series, and the finest we've had the pleasure to handle in recent years, both visually and conditionally speaking. Struck to commemorate the founding of the Republic of China upon Yuan Shih-kai's assumption of power. Boasting a noble portrait sensitively rendered by famed engraver Luigi Giorgi the piece at hand endures in a fully appreciable state of preservation and bestowed a deserving "+" designation. An aesthetically superior offering tempered by astounding originality and an effervescent champagne aura and peripheral cobalt tones, making this Gem Mint State specimen a most enticing candidate for the quality-minded collector. From the Glorium Collection
