CHINA. Yunnan. Copper 1 Mace 4.4 Candareens (20 Cents) Pattern, ND (ca. 1911). NGC Unc Details--Cleaned.
cf. L&M-423 (silver); cf. K-173 (same) cf. KM-Y-256 (same); cf. WS-0684 (same). VERY RARE. Two circles beneath pearl. Lightly cleaned some years ago, now with a pleasing tone taking hold. Sharply struck with considerable remaining luster and quite attractive despite the details designation. This interesting series as a whole references the Guangzu Emperor, though as theorized by Kann, very likely was produced during the brief reign of his successor, or even during the first few years of the Republic.
Estimate: $4000.00- $5000.00
