Yunnan. Republic Tael ND (1943-1944) MS63 PCGS, KM-X2 (French Indo-China), Kann-940, L&M-433, Lec-324. Struck for use in French Indo-China. Scarcely available in comparable Mint State condition, with a noticeable decline in the certified population at or above this juncture. Manufactured for circulation within the French-Chinese opium trade, this particular specimen maintains clear cartwheel effects. Subtle notes of a caramel hue cling to the periphery, framing the Art Deco-styled character 'Fu' - signifying wealth - that forms the focus of the obverse, adding to the already impressive eye appeal.
