CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. Rupee, ND (1902-11). NGC MS-65+.
L&M-360; K-590; KM-Y-3; WS-0755. Scarce variety with a vertical rosette and no collar. VERY RARE in this state of preservation. A stunning Gem Uncirculated piece with sharp strike, full silky luster that permeates every corner, and a delicate crescent of gray to aqua toning on the obverse. This coin is truly a star of the type, with only two graded finer at NGC (MS-66) and PCGS (MS-66). A real treat for the specialist from this normally very crude long time circulating issue.
From the Charles Tanant Collection.
Estimate: $3500.00- $5000.00
