China Hupeh Government Mint 1 Dollar = 7 Mace 2 Candareens Year 25 (1899) Pick S2135 S/M # H175-20
This newly discovered Year 25 Hupeh Government Dollar is the most important note of a specialized theme collection offered here this evening. Throughout the auction, we are offering notes with coin vignettes, many of which are very rare and not often seen. The silver dollars featured are held by facing dragons, with the pearl of wisdom between them. While a few survivors have been offered in recent years, none are as nice as this fully margined and brightly colored PMG About Uncirculated 50 example. PMG was impressed by the color as well, adding the "Great Color" descriptor on back. A small tear is cited by the grading service, but not serious enough to result in a Net grade.
