The Sole Mint State "Two Stripes" Sar in the PCGS Census
(t) CHINA. Sinkiang. Sar (Tael), Year 1 (1912). Urumchi (Tihwa) Mint. PCGS MS-61.
L&M-834; K-1251; KM-Y-42; WS-1315; SGSC-226 (this coin illustrated). Ration coinage. Type 1 (flags with two strips of arabesques). A wholly unrivaled specimen, this type is already VERY RARE, and stands as an exceedingly difficult specimen in more elite, problem-free states of preservation, as is the case here. A steely gray hue dominates as the backdrop, with burnished amber notes populating throughout. Meanwhile, a fairly sharp strike for the type as well as an abundance of glistening brilliance further entertains the eye. A monumental offering and tremendous chance for the advanced collector of the Sinkiang series.
