Description

(t) CHINA. Dollar, Year 9 (1920). PCGS MS-62.

L&M-77; K-666; KM-Y-329.6; WS-0181-1. Fine hair variety. Quite radiant and brilliant, this SCARCE variant poses the question of possibly being a later issue related to the "Hainan type" (WS-0181-8). Though this type features more detailed hair than the "mushier" appearing Hainan issues, the reverses bear uncanny similarities-- namely in the non-bisected middle leaf to the upper left and the flat (rather than slightly up-tipped) terminal stroke on "yuan." The epaulet as well displays a slightly different configuration than the "regular issue" dollar for this year.

Estimate: $1500.00 - $2000.00

民國九年袁世凱像壹圓銀幣。

精髮版。光彩奪目, 稀缺版別 ,可能是"海南版"(WS-0181-8)相關的後期發行。儘管此版的精髮比海南版的頭髮"更帶慕絲感,反面則有著驚人的相似之處-特別是左上角未對分的中間葉和"圓"上的扁平(而不是略微向上傾斜)末端筆劃。肩章也顯示出與同年"常規發行"的壹圓略有不同的風格。
