Chihli (Pei Yang Arsenal). Kuang-hsu Dollar Year 26 (1900) MS61 NGC, KM201, L&M-459. A rare Mint-State example of this date, made scarce in any grade by the destruction of the mint in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion. Moderate handling, commensurate with the assigned grade, is noted throughout while light tone subdues the remaining luster. The engraved dragon is beautifully struck and exhibits sharp detail.
