CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar, Year 17 (1928). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details Gold Shield.
L&M-610; K-757r; Y-428; WS-1110; Ta Han-301 (pg. 142). Three blades of grass. Zhou Xicheng was the provincial warlord governor of Kweichow from July 1927 through April 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. Nicely struck and lustrous with just a light veneer of tone. Good eye appeal despite the "Details" designation.
From the Ta Han Collection, no. 301.
Estimate: $5000.00- $7000.00
