China
Hupeh. Kuang-hsü 50 Cents ND (1895-1905) MS63+ PCGS, Ching mint, KM-Y126, L&M-183, Kann-41. A laudable representative of this provincial type showcasing mint fresh surfaces layered in dappled pastel tones to the obverse, a deeper palette of steel and honey gold having taken to the greater part of the reverse expanses. A prominent cartwheel effect dominates both faces, pointing to a clear degree of quality that only few collectors can hope to locate in this conditionally difficult issue.
