(t) CHINA. Fengtien. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). Fengtien Arsenal Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-53.
L&M-471; K-244; KM-Y-87; WS-0583. Variety with narrow-mouthed dragon and pointed "one". One of the most iconic issues of the provincial period, this Fengtien Dollar displays a soft luster and wonderful details throughout. The details are well preserved, with light instances of handling across the surfaces and no obtrusive marking seen. Some friction is seen on the characters' side, noted here for completeness. A few touches of toning are seen, and overall this example is certain to excite much desirability in collectors of provincial, or more generally just Chinese, RARITIES.
From the C.H. Fung Collection.

Estimate: $10000.00- $15000.00
