Kuang-hsü Pattern Dollar CD 1907 MS61 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-K212, L&M-20. A lustrous and beautifully produced example of this sought-after pattern issue. Lightly mottled tone contrasts nicely with bright underlying surfaces, the sharp central details of the dragon dominating the eye-appeal. A combination of hairlines and minor surface marks define the grade but do not overpower the charisma of this piece.
