Stunning Near-Mint Kirin Dollar from the Jacobs Collection
(t) CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1908). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-53.
L&M-576; K-569; KM-Y-183B; WS-0538. Manchu type. A fairly RARE type already, this example is exceeded in the PCGS census by just two others, fully revealing its lofty status. Displaying a mostly gunmetal gray nature, it also sports some hues of amber further accentuate the devices, making its tantalizing originality come through all the stronger. No doubt full of flair and exceptional appeal, this specimen should generate great enthusiasm among the specialized collectors of a rather popular province.
