Description
(t) CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar (7 Mace 2 Candareens), Year 17 (1928). Uncertain Mint, likely Chengdu. PCGS AU-58.
L&M-610; K-757R; KM-Y-428; WS-1110. Variety with three grass blades. Struck to commemorate the completion of the Kweichow (Guizhou) Provincial Highway, and reportedly featuring Governor Zhou Xicheng's personal automobile. The far SCARCER to the two main types, this automobile motif presents three grass blades directly below the left rear tire, as opposed to the more commonly encountered two grass blades. Very enticingly toned, with a delightful almond-gray nature throughout, along with some hints of brilliance remaining in the protected areas. A stunning and EXTREMELY RARE opportunity for an iconic 20th century crown that is almost never obtainable in such an elite, problem-free state of preservation. Rather accordingly, PCGS has graded just one finer.
