CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar, Year 17 (1928). PCGS AU-55 Secure Holder.
L&M-609; K-757; Y-428; WS-1109. Two blades of grass variety. Zhou Xicheng was the provincial warlord governor of Kweichow from July of 1927 through April of 1929. Although his time in office was short, Xicheng focused heavily on education and modernizing of the province through public works. This fascinating issue was minted to commemorate the completion of the Kweichow (Guizhou) provincial highway and reportedly features Governor Zhou Xicheng's personal automobile. Better than normal strike, evenly applied golden amber toning, and well preserved for the type. With so few surviving examples grading ALMOST UNCIRCULATED or better, it is understandable why examples like the piece seen here draw such intense interest when offered at auction. PCGS AU-55 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $20000.00- $30000.00
