Szechuan. Empress Dowager Ci Xi Fantasy Dollar ND UNC Details (Cleaned) PCGS, KM-X429, Kann-B27, WS-1349-47. Imitated by Tan Zi-Jun (Chengdu). One of the most instantly recognizable types across the visually intriguing fantasy series. It features the likeness of Empress Dowager Ci Xi (Tsu Hsi) on its largest canvas while imitating the iconic reverse of the Tibetan trade Rupees of the early 20th century. Although accompanied by muted surfaces (perhaps indicative of an earlier cleaning), the specimen is pleasantly retoned with ambered silhouettes to maintain the majority of its Mint State appeal.
