Fengtien. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 24 (1898) MS61 PCGS, KM-Y87, L&M-471. Narrow-mouthed dragon variety. A lustrous example of this issue and very rare in Mint State despite the profusion of tiny handling marks accounting for the grade. Bright silver colored overall, with some mottled russet tone in areas that deepens into subtle iridescence closer to the rims. 1898 was the second year Fengtien Province produced coins and the first year it denominated its coins as Yuan rather than using the Kuping Mace/Candareen standard, although that standard would again be used beginning again in 1903.
