Anhwei. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 24 (1898) AU55 NGC, Anking mint, KM-Y45.2, L&M-204, Kann-53a. Variety with small obverse rosettes. A phenomenal lightly toned example of this scarcer variety, exhibiting nearly full device detail set against glistening fields. The surfaces, noticeably clean for a coin that has spent even a brief period in circulation, are as alluring and inviting of close examination as the crisp features. A commendable offering of a type rarely found so nice.
