Description

(t) CHINA. Yunnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1908). Kunming Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58.

L&M-418; K-166; KM-Y-254; WS-0659. Despite not quite attaining an uncirculated grade, this enchanting and entirely wholesome example nevertheless exudes overwhelming charm and character. The strike is quite bold and robust, with the level of handling seemingly being imperceptible. Meanwhile, the luster radiates off from the planchet, and the cartwheel effect is dazzling and captivating. Rounding out its appeal, the toning takes on a subtle burnished nature, with it being most present around the peripheries.

Estimate: USD 8000-12000
