CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang Arsenal). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield.
L&M-449; K-191; KM-Y-65.2; WS-0616. Variety with dragon's eyes in relief. The rub seems to be restricted to a few of the dragon's scales, but this choice, lustrous, originally toned, and fully struck example is clearly about as close as one can get to attaining a Mint State designation. Wholly above average for the type.
From the Mas Fera Collection.
Estimate: $4000.00- $6000.00
