CHINA. Fantasy 5 Dollars, ND. NGC MS-62.
Bruce-705; K-unlisted; WS-unlisted. VERY RARE and the first example that we have handled. Sun face obverse reminiscent of 19th century Latin American designs, with the much more familiar crossed Republican flags on the reverse. All of the allure one would expect from a gold coin, and with highly reflective proof like fields. Sharp rims and free of significant marks or abrasions. A type with broad appeal that should generate intense interest among specialists in Chinese fantasy issues. NGC MS-62.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
