CHINA. Silver Reversed Dragon Dollar (Type II) Pattern, Year 3 (1911). PCGS SP-61 Gold Shield.
L&M-31; K-225; KM-Pn308; WS-0042a; Chang Foundation-pg. 86#37; Wenchao-pg. 134#115 (rarity three stars). Struck in silver. Proposed pattern for the 1911 "Dragon in Clouds" Empire Dollar of L&M type 37 Type II pattern with dragon reversed from what later became the adopted design with raised veins on outer leaves. Minor other stylistic variants differ from that of the adopted design, including the general design of the dragon's body and claws. Razor sharp strike with clear definition of the fine details without the aid of magnification. Appears to be quite conservatively graded. Blazing white, fully lustrous and highly attractive.
Estimate: $35000.00- $50000.00
