CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar, Year 17 (1928). PCGS AU-58 Secure Holder.
L&M-609; K-757; Y-428; WS-1109. Zhou Xicheng was the provincial warlord governor of Kweichow from July of 1927 through April of 1929. Although his time in office was short, Xicheng focused heavily on education and modernizing the province through public works. This fascinating issue was minted by the order of Zhou Xicheng, struck to commemorate the completion of the Kweichow (Guizhou) provincial highway and reportedly features Governor Zhou Xicheng's personal automobile. Directly below the automobile, found in a hidden arrangement of blades of grass is the secret mark of "Xicheng". One of ten at this grade, with only six certified finer. Choice for this type and scarcely seen in this level of preservation. Nice strike with lovely faint toning with an abundance of mint luster. An exceptional example of this ever popular type with great eye appeal. PCGS AU-58 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $45000.00- $60000.00
