L&M-28; K-223; KM-Pn304; WS-0040; Wenchao-105 (rarity three stars). Silver. RARE type, featuring a slight deviation from the first variation of the "Dragon in clouds" style. This type also features the smaller more robust characters but it differs from the "ordinary obverse" when the floral designs are compared, this example is known as the "pointed petals" variety. Raised veins are found on the outer leaves for this example, whereas the "ordinary obverse" type features raised veins on the inner leaves. A very desirable and classic Qing dynasty rarity, this piece displays some tranquil yellow-gold toning. PCGS MS-61 Secure Holder.
