Hsüan-t'ung 20 Cents Year 3 (1911) MS61 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y29, L&M-40, Kann-229, WS-0048. Quite easily in the upper caliber of the certified population for this alluring and conditionally challenging type, the vast majority of examples falling well below the Mint State range. Though a bit shallowly struck, as is usual for the issue, the fields display a delicate array of metallic tones that add yet further allure to the piece.
