Kwangtung. Kuang-hsü 50 Cents ND (1890-1905) MS64 PCGS, Kwangtung mint, KM-Y202, L&M-134. A uniquely appealing offering, which appears essentially specimen-like in its finish, owing to the glasslike, shimmering quality of its fields and sharpness of its strike. Amber and steel-blue color weave together seamlessly to the obverse (as holdered), while the reverse face displays a decorative tone of gold, silver, and honey, expressed with perfect harmonious balance. Simply superb, and a coin that neither should nor can be overlooked.
