China
Republic Yuan Shih-kai Dollar ND (1916) MS62 PCGS, KM-Y332, L&M-942, Kann-663. Obv. Facing bust of Yuan Shih-kai in military attire and tall, plumed hat. Rev. Dragon flying left. Struck for the inauguration of Yuan Shih-kai as Emperor Hung Hsien, this iconic and popular type is here represented here in superb Mint State with exceptional visual appeal. Definitively struck so as to show every intricate detail, die-polish lines in the fields gracing them with an attractive matte appearance yet retaining much flashy luster. Mint-white in color, with a luxurious champagne tone illuminating the peripheries and bold devices. An especially enticing offering, beautifully rendered and worthy of serious consideration by connoisseurs of the Chinese Republican series.
