CHINA. 50 Cents, Year 3 (1914). PCGS VF-35 Gold Shield.
L&M-64; K-655; Y-328; WS-0175-1. An interesting variety seemingly unpublished. The bust, particularly the nose and mustache, varies from the "Tientsin type" and "Fukien type" shown in Wang Chun Li's Illustrated Catalog of Chinese Gold and Silver Coins. We speculate that it is from some unknown provincial mint. A well struck example with good honest wear deep peripheral tone.
Estimate: $400.00- $600.00
