Republic Li Yuan-hung Dollar ND (1912) MS62 NGC, Wuchang mint, KM-Y321, L&M-45. Type without hat. From the incredibly popular portrait series of Dollars, created during the early republic era and a clear deviation in style from prior provincial dragon types. Of these, the earliest are those bearing the portraits of Sun Yat-sen and Li Yuan-hung, first provisional President and Vice President, respectively. On offer is a pleasing near-Choice specimen, imbued with a subtle champagne aura that enlivens the surfaces upon rotation. Among the more attractive examples of this collectible type.
