China
Yunnan. Republic Tael (1943-44) MS62 PCGS, Kann-940, L&M-433, KMX-2 (French Indo-China). Struck for use in French Indo-China opium trade. Beautiful, bright mint bloom throughout surfaces, becoming frosty behind the obverse Chinese character "fu" (wealth). Scattered surface marks, but none significant enough to distract from this example's magnificent cartwheel luster.
