CHINA. Kirin. 10 Cash, CD (1909). NGC AU-50 Gold Shield.
CL-KR.27, KM-Y20p.3. "Rooster claw" dragon variety. A highly attractive and EXTREMELY RARE type, with just two known per the Standard Catalog of World Coins. Exceedingly desirable and important, a needle sharp strike and even, dark chocolate brown patina throughout.

This is thought to be a pattern coin, the design of which was never officially released. The motif is the same as the 1 Mace 4.4 Candareens "Ji" Centered "Rooster Claw" Dragon Silver Pattern.



Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection.

Estimate: $50000.00- $60000.00
