(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1904)-HAH CH. Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC AU-50.
L&M-257; K-99; KM-Y-145A.12; WS-0858; The Coins of Kiangnan-pg. 231-20.CH. Variety with reversed spines on dragon. A far more elusive variety, and the only example of this variety certified by NGC, this Dollar differs from the normally seen type with spines on the dragon that flow left to right, as opposed to right to left. The surfaces are nice, with marginal wearing and strong details, and deeply toned color throughout. Some brilliance is retained, and this example is wholly problem free. An example that will capture much intrigue with variety collectors on account of this unusual die variety on the dragon.

Estimate: $5000.00- $8000.00

反刺。較罕版別，NGC中唯一經評鑑的一枚，此版與普版的龍刺不同，從右至左。幣面不俗，些許磨損，細節深邃，通體深色包漿。些許光澤猶存，無瑕之作。獨得的模具，喜愛收藏不同版別的藏家定會為之嘖嘖稱奇。 (t) On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes.
