Chekiang. Kuang-hsü copper Specimen Dollar ND (1902) SP62 Brown PCGS, KM-Pn8, type of L&M-277, type of Kann-119I. As with the silver-plated copper piece offered in the previous lot, this example has the reverse rotated 180 degrees. This coin is also a Birmingham Pattern, with the province spelled CHE-KIANG rather than the spelling CHEHKIANG seen on the Hangchow mint coin. The strike is superb, with cordovan toning, and surfaces displaying only minor marks. Exceedingly rare, with only one other example certified by PCGS and both pieces Specimen 62.
