Description

(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 3.6 Candareens (5 Cents), CD (1899). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.

L&M-228; K-80; KM-Y-141a; WS-0814. Displaying the "old Kiangnan"-style dragon that is very characteristic of the early coinage from this mint, the present example yields a deep gunmetal gray tone with some underlying hints of radiant brilliance and subtle pastel toning. Though some of the central details are a bit soft, they are nevertheless completely original and unhandled--a fairly RARE feat for this diminutive type.

Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection.

Estimate: USD 8000-12000
