In 1929, the Chinese Ministry of Finance ordered a new design for the then proposed Dr. Sun Yat-sen Dollar. Patterns were submitted from five of the world's leading mints: Italy, Japan, England, United States and Austria. When composing his Catalog of Chinese Coins Eduard Kann reached out to the mint officials at the Osaka mint concerning this design type. Though the Osaka mint asserted it had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, Kann remains resolute in his association with this design and the Osaka mint.
From the Mas Fera Collection.
With old collector's envelope.
