CHINA. Pattern Dollar, ND (ca. 1916). PCGS SP-62 Secure Holder.
Fr-unlisted; L&M-1116; K-1560 for type (unlisted plume variety); cf.KM-Pn44 (unlisted plume variety); cf.Hsu-10 (unlisted plume variety); Wenchao-pg. 93#55 (rarity three stars); Sun-VI-3-06; Shanghai Museum-Mr. Shi Jiagan's Collection-pg. 4#22 (Special edition). Struck in gold. Presentation strike celebrating the Hung Hsien regime. EXTREMELY RARE type with different plume on hat. Not only does the plume differ from the similar L&M-1114, much care was taken with the engraving of these dies. Upon close inspection one notices the intricate details of the obverse and reverse which are lacking on similar examples. Such as the defined details of the sash and breast stars on the obverse and the rounded scales on the dragon on the reverse. Sharply struck with every detail defined. Bright and lustrous. PCGS SP-62 Secure Holder.

Estimate: $70000.00- $90000.00
