Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 24 (1898) AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, KM-Y65.2, L&M-449. Variety with dragon's eyes incuse. A fully commendable emission for this classically weakly struck type, hardly a trace of unevenness of flatness visible anywhere in the design, the outer registers cloaked in a thick ring of iridescent envelope tone. Extremely attractive for the noted cleaning.
