CHINA. Dollar, Year 10 (1921). PCGS MS-64.

L&M-864; K-676; WS-0101. Reeded edge variety. Tied for fifth finest certified with 15 other examples on the PCGS population report, 18 finer (MS 64+[4], MS 65[7], MS 65+[5] and MS 66[2]). Obverse: President Hsu Shih Chang in formal attire facing slightly left; Reverse: Pavilion at Peking Union Medical College Hospital with legend at the bottom. A highly attractive representative of the type displaying beautiful mottled delicate patina over the lustrous surfaces with much brilliance that catches the eye. Though not the finest certified, this is a pleasing example offering much originality that is destined for a fine collection. An incredibly popular and desirable type believed to have been a pattern issue, it now appears that these were, in fact, more medallic in nature, and meant to be given out upon the opening of the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC). Initially designed with a blank field below the pavilion for recipients' names to be engraved, the design was altered to contain the three struck characters instead, as the engraving proved difficult on the initial batch.

From the Hobart Collection.

Estimate: $40000.00 - $60000.00

民國十年徐世昌像紀念銀幣。

齒邊版，與另15枚同列PCGS品鑑第五高分，僅18枚更高分者（4枚MS-64+，7枚MS-65，5枚MS-65+及2枚MS-66）。正面為徐世昌身穿正裝，臉部稍微朝左；反面為北京協和醫院的涼亭，底下有銘文。賞心悅目，精美柔和的斑駁包漿，耀目底光閃透。非最高分者，但此枚品相甚佳，原始幣面誘人，定為藏匣增光添彩。 此版深受歡迎，被認爲是樣幣，但於本質上來説應是獎章，為紀念北京協和醫院開幕所鑄。原鑄版涼亭底下留空，方便刻上受章者名字，因在首批初試雕刻姓名難度過高，其後版別改為"紀念幣"三字。
