CHINA. Fukien. 7.2 Candareens (10 Cents), ND (1903-08). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details.

L&M-293; K-130; KM-Y-103.3; WS-1033. Variety with large dragon with five spines on head between clouds. A fairly RARE minor, this piece exhibits attractive toning and some hints of brilliance emanating from the protected areas. There is some confusion regarding dating, as L&M dates this issue to 1894, Kann to ca. 1902, and WS to 1894-1900, while PCGS has assigned the chronology to 1903-08.

From the Hobart Collection.

Estimate: $240 - $400
