Japanese Protectorate - Yung Hi gold 5 Won Year 2 (1908) AU55 NGC, Osaka mint, KM1142. Complete with harvest-tinged coloration and residual luster that is nestled within the protected areas, this rare gold issue features a beautifully-stylized dragon that clutches the pearl of celestial wisdom. Noted in the grade assignment are micro-surface abrasions, as well as minimal wear that evenly affects the highest points. Despite an original mintage of 10,000 pieces, only a very small fraction of that number exist today, and as such, this scarce issue is absolutely worthy of attention.
Estimate: 20000-30000 USD
