Chihli. Kuang-hsü 10 Cents Year 22 (1896) MS63 PCGS, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y62, L&M-442. Mintage: 5,000. Struck in the first year of issue for the Pei Yang Arsenal and an indisputable conditional rarity in this state, with relatively few surviving and even fewer reaching the choice Mint State level of certification. Frosty throughout and sharply struck, just a hint of silver patina visible in the fields.
