CL-SC.14; Y-228(plate coin); CCC-368; Duan-1728. VERY RARE. Variety with flying dragon obverse and large rosette and large Manchu characters on reverse. The weak central strike is typical for this particular issue, but better then the one plated in the above references (all are the same piece with the exception of KM(Y)). A handsome example with a good strike for the issue and lovely smooth milk chocolate patina. PCGS AU-50 BN Secure Holder.
