CHINA. Silver Dollar Pattern, Year 18 (1929). PCGS SPECIMEN-64 Gold Shield.
L&M-95; K-616; KM-Pn100; WS-0139; Wenchao-pg. 565 #910. The American design from the Philadelphia Mint, but struck in China at the Hangchow Mint. A beautifully toned specimen with lovely iridescent hues that flow over smokey grey patina accentuating the design features. An attractive representative of the type certain to see spirited bidding.

In 1929, the Chinese Ministry of Finance ordered a new design for the then proposed Dr. Sun Yat-sen Dollar. Patterns were submitted from the world's five leading mints: Italy, Japan, England, United States and Austria. Upon completion, the various mints shipped the dies as well as samples of the new patterns to China.

From the Mas Fera Collection.

With old collector's envelope.

Estimate: $20000.00- $25000.00
