Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 23 (1897) AU58 PCGS, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y65.1, L&M-444. Variety with "+" between body and end of dragon's tail. This example, steel gray and silver, exhibits a remarkable clarity of luster and color, the lesser-defined areas a consequence of lightness of strike rather than any meaningful wear. Despite this isolated weakness the quality of the present specimen is immediately felt in hand, an impression confirmed by its position in the PCGS population where only two examples certify higher.
