Kwangtung. Kuang-hsü Fantasy 1/2 Tael ND (c. 1904) MS61 NGC, Kann-B35. Sharply struck with light mauve and yellow-tan tone over both sides. Although a fantasy issue that did not circulate, still very scarce at this grade, with most examples likely having been melted in the decades following its original manufacture and those that survived often showing the affects of improper storage and handling.
Estimate: 1000-1500 USD
