Description
CHINA. Taiwan. "Old Man" Dollar, ND (1838-50). Taiwan Mint. Tao-kuang (Daoguang). PCGS Genuine--Chopmark, EF Details.
L&M-317; K-1i; KM-C25-3; WS-0997. Initially designed as a form of payment, the Taiwan "Old Man" Dollars quickly gained the approval of the citizenry, causing them to grow greatly in popularity. Given their extensive use, they are almost always encountered with chopmarks, as is the case here. Accordingly, that aspect is rather easily discounted. This example in particular retains great overall detail and some subtle toning, along with hints of brilliance and a relative low number of chopmarks, making it stand out from those normally seen. VERY RARE this elevated and enticing, and a specimen that should generate appeal and enthusiasm that rivals its exceptional nature.
From the Nine Dragons Collection.
