See Ros #23/24 p.127, Ros didn't mention the actual date, but can be identified as the time of Vice-Present Li's departure for Peking(Dec/1913). Very similar to the W971 we are offering in this sale but with a larger decoration on Yuan Shih-Kai's breast. Needle sharp strike with every minute detail visible without the aid of magnification. Flawless glossy prooflike surfaces displaying a lovely mixture of milk chocolate and mahogany with just a hint of original mint red.
