Republic Tuan Chi-jui Dollar ND (1924) MS61 PCGS, Tientsin mint, L&M-865, Kann-683, Chang-CH244, WS-0107, Wenchao-886 (rarity 2 stars). An elusive relic from the Warlord Era, one of modern China's most chaotic decades following the fall of the Qing dynasty, depicting noted political and military figure Tuan Chi-jui. Struck upon his taking office as the provisional Chief Executive of the Republic of China while abolishing the presidency and commemorating a "Peaceful Unification" of China that never materialized. Mottled amber tone and watery features abound this Mint State representative, elevated by a pervasive reflectivity commonly associated with the type, providing clear verification of additional care and attention to detail that accompanied the piece's production and sure to pique to interest of the Chinese type collector.
