Chihli (Pei Yang Arsenal). Kuang-hsu Dollar Year 34 (1908) MS63 PCGS, KM-Y73.3, L&M-465A. Short Spine variety. Delicately toned in the centers and deeper towards the edges, with shimmering luster and very few marks throughout. A touch of softness in the inscription surrounding the dragon perhaps prevented an even finer grade.
