CHINA. Shantung. Gold Fantasy 20 Dollars, Year 15 (1926). Tientsin Mint. NGC MS-64.
cf. L&M-1065; cf. K-1535; cf. Fr-6; KM-X-not listed. Weight: 8.84 gms. Imitative type. An EXTREMELY RARE fantasy issue produced with an almost identical design to the original proposed patterns, but with a slightly different surface texture and minor nuance differences in the devices. It is the opinion of this cataloger that these were probably produced for collectors as a "hole filler" since the originals of this issue seldom appear on the market and are virtually uncollectible as a type. An interesting piece displaying a lovely design with crisp devices sure to add depth to any advanced collection of Fantasy issues.
