China
Republic Li Yuan-hung Dollar ND (1912) UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y321.1, L&M-45, Kann-639e. Variety missing the crossbar of the H in THE, thus TIIE. A considerably rarer subvariety of this popular Republican type, reportedly struck from a defective hub. Although light hairlines are present in line with a past cleaning, this appears exceedingly unobtrusive and to have taken place long ago, the coin otherwise bathed in a rainbow of enticing iridescent tones.
