Republic Sun Yat-sen "Lower Five-Pointed Stars" Dollar ND (1912) MS64 PCGS, Nanjing mint, KM-Y319, L&M-42, Kann-603, WS-0085, Wenchao-847 (rarity 3 stars). Variety with lower five-pointed stars on reverse. Commemorating the Birth of the Republic. A stunning near gem specimen, representing the first year of issue for this timeless and quintessentially Chinese type struck upon the founding of the Republic of China. Despite a relatively high certified population--with over 400 examples seen to-date by PCGS alone--remarkably few grade finer than the present piece, and certainly few come close in offering as splendid a visual allure; obverse and reverse alike brim with die polish lines overlaid by a charming mottled cabinet tone.
