Kiangnan. Kuang-Hsu Dollar CD 1898 MS63 NGC, Nanking mint, L&M-217, KM-Y145A.1. Well struck, with full mint brilliance and a hint of golden patina. Dragon with raised, bulging eyeballs. The surfaces display only a few very small marks, and the overall appearance is nicer than one might expect of the stated grade. Rare in this condition.
Estimate: 20000-25000 USD
