The dies for this issue were prepared by Langford Jones in accordance with the requested design of the Chinese Legation in London. More so than the other nations asked to prepare patterns for this type, this issue stands out for its depiction of turbulent seas on the reverse, with the cresting of the wave in the foreground taking on almost human-like qualities.
Estimate: $15000.00- $20000.00
