Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 26 (1900) XF45 PCGS, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y73, L&M-459, Kann-201. Impressively decorated in a lilac-tinged steel patina, which expresses itself with consistency across both faces, highlighting the features of a well-placed strike. A very scarce issue, as the mint was destroyed later the same year.
