CHINA. Sinkiang. 5 Mace (Miscals), AH 1310 (1893). Kashgar Mint. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield.
L&M-683; Y-19; K-1041; WS-Mule 1170 obverse with 1171; Lin-not listed; Xinjiang-363; Lin&Chen-043-2. Single finest certified of the date at either PCGS or NGC, with none finer. Date in straight line. EXTREMELY RARE in this state of preservation. An incredibly well preserved example leagues better than normally encountered from this usually very worn and crudely executed series. Exhibiting a sharp strike with clear definition of the fine details and beautiful multicolor tone throughout. Clearly an example that was plucked from circulation early on and sat for a prolonged period of time undisturbed. A magnificent example destine for an advanced collection.
Estimate: $700.00- $1000.00
