(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 23 (1897). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. PCGS AU-55.
L&M-444; cf. K-186; KM-Y-65.1; WS-0609. Variety with dragon's eyes as "spectacles". Emanating from the second year of the mint's output, this exceptionally wholesome Dollar yields a soft almond-gray tone, with subtle amber hues noted around the devices and nearer the peripheries. Elevating its appeal that much more are some areas of lustrous brilliance remaining in the protected areas.
