(t) CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1905). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, EF Details.

L&M-557; K-513; KM-Y-183a.3; WS-0493. Variety with dotted "sheng" and "kuang," and no dot within Manchu script. This handsome survivor displays bold central design features with somewhat softly struck legends and even wear on the high points. Evidence of a past cleaning, now subdued by very attractive rich mottled multicolored patina. The obverse is more of a dove gray with brighter coloration on the high points, splashes of tan patina amongst the devices and hints of iridescent tone in the peripheries. The reverse displays a thin veneer of champagne tone in the center that transitions to sunset and dusky hued patina near the edges. Despite its shortcomings this lovely example boasts good eye appeal and is very attractive sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.

Estimate: $1200.00 - $1600.00

乙巳吉林省造光緒元寶七錢二分銀幣。

點狀省及光。滿文間無點。銳利的中央設計，銘文略為弱打，高鑄處均勻磨損。過去曾經清洗，現被豐富斑駁的五彩包漿所覆蓋。正面更像是鴿子灰色，在高點展現更明亮的色彩，圖文間有棕褐包漿飛濺，環形略帶虹彩色調。反面中心的香檳色調稀薄，延展至邊緣的暗包漿及日落色。絕佳的視覺吸引力，定會成為它進入的下一個集藏的亮點。
