CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar, Year 17 (1928). NGC AU-53.
L&M-610; K-757r; Y-428; WS-1110; Wenchao-pg.664 #1062 (rarity two stars). RARE in this state of preservation. Three blades of grass. Zhou Xicheng was the provincial warlord governor of Kweichow from July of 1927 through April of 1929. Although his time in office was short, Xicheng focused heavily on education and modernizing of the province through public works. This fascinating issue was minted to commemorate the completion of the Kweichow (Guizhou) provincial highway and reportedly features Governor Zhou Xicheng's personal automobile. Nice even dove grey tone with underlying soft satin luster.
Estimate: $15000.00- $20000.00
