Kwangtung. Kuang-hsü 50 Cents ND (1890-1905) MS63+ PCGS, L&M-134, KM-Y202. Light mauve tone sweeps across both sides and soft underlying luster remains apparent. Very few marks exist over the surfaces, but close inspection with a loupe reveals some light, well-blended handling on the character side that ultimately defines the grade.
