Kirin. Kuang-hsü silver Fantasy 1/2 Tael Year 8 (1882)-Dated AU55 NGC, KMX-M321, Kann-B30, cf. WS-1349-65 (for full Fantasy Tael). Immensely popular as a type and one only seen at auction once every few years, the Fantasy 1/2 and full Taels of Kirin are among the series most instantly recognizable for their seemingly unique appearances. Despite the gentle handling witnessed throughout and confirmed by NGC's conditional assertion, the piece faces up especially fine and with considerable visual appeal via light lavender tones against a champagne backdrop.
