Republic Yuan Shih-kai Plumed Hat gold Pattern Dollar ND (1914) MS62 NGC, L&M-1089, Kann-1558. Obv. 3/4 facing bust of Yuan Shih-kai in military dress. Rev. Value, in Chinese, in wreath, with value in English below. A very rare Presentation piece issued to commemorate Yuan Shih-kai as a founder of the Republic. Although the 1916 issue, with this obverse and the dragon reverse, is much scarcer in silver, this type, with the legend reverse, is quite a bit rarer in the gold strikings. The definition is superb, and the luster fully brilliant, with prooflike surfaces and a few minute hairlines.
