Chihli. Kuang-hsü 5 Cents Year 23 (1897) MS62 NGC, KM-Y61.1, L&M-448. Very scarce in Mint State, with only a dozen examples certified in such a condition between both PCGS and NGC to date. Shimmering brilliance pervades across the fields, a central lightness of strike noted for accuracy though entirely common to this conditionally uncommon type.
