Republic Yuan Shih-kai Fantasy Dollar Year 1 (1916) UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC, KM-X1365, Kann-B45, WS-1349-33. A fairly scarce fantasy type, depicting Yuan Shih-kai as Emperor Hung-hsien, dressed in traditional robes. Currently only the third example of the issue we have handled, and one that is markedly difficult outside of details grades, with a halo of cobalt and russet tones at the margins creating a unique visual appearance.
