Hupeh. Kuang-hsü "Small Characters" Tael ND (1904) MS64 PCGS, KM-Y128.2, L&M-180. Small Characters variety. Exceptional quality for this coveted issue, which showcases original satin luster, with little tone on either side and sharply detailed raised surfaces that are free of distracting contact marks. While the "small characters" type is the more available of the two, this piece is among the most exceptional we have seen, and is tied for the finest graded example we've offered. As such, we're certain this piece will excite the advanced collector of large size Chinese silver coinage.
