CL-KN.47; Y-9k.2; CCC-215; Duan-0579. VERY RARE type with small character mintmark in center of reverse. Interesting to note is that this piece shares that dragon side die as CCC-216 (also in the sale). Moderate signs of circulation consistent for the grade. Good strike fully defining all of the lines in the waves below the dragon. Minor encrustation amongst the devices with lovely milk chocolate patina throughout. PCGS EF-45 Secure Holder.
