CHINA. 7 Mace 2 Candereens (Dollar), ND (1908). Tientsin Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-64+.

L&M-11; K-216; KM-Y-14; WS-0029. An INCREDIBLE RARITY as a specimen striking, this captivating near-Gem presents a vibrant palette of iridescence, with the dragon side offering a delicate balance of cobalt, olive green, and burnished goldenrod, and the characters side fully awash in an intense ring of amber, burgundy, and electrified indigo. The fields themselves dazzle with lustrous brilliance that is seemingly unending, allowing the gazer the ability to encounter something new each time it is cradled back and forth in hand. For the connoisseur who demands nothing but the best, this exotic offering will undoubtedly present an opportunity unlikely to be encountered again in a generation. Rather accordingly, this tremendous Dollar has been off the market since its last appearance in 1973!

Ex: Lester Merkin (12/1973) Lot # 228.
