Description

★ "Pavilion" Dollar - MS 61 ★

China. Hsu Shih-Chang. 1 dollar. Year 10 (1921). Tientsin Mint. (L&M-864). (Kann-676). Ag. Variety with reeded edge and legend at bottom of reverse. "Pavilion" Dollar type. Subtle tone with golden shades on reverse side. Exquisitely struck, allowing this example to serve as a wondrous addition to an advanced cabinet of vintage Chinese numismatics. An incredibly popular and desirable type believed to have been a pattern issue, it now appears that these were, in fact, more medallic in nature, and meant to be given out upon the opening of the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC), the facade of which is displayed upon the reverse but the design, initially thought to celebrate then-president Hsu Shih-chang's 67th birthday. Very rare. Slabbed by NGC as MS 61. Est...18000,00.
