CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. Rupee, (1939-42). PCGS Genuine--Planchet Flaw, Unc Details Gold Shield.
L&M-359; K-589; KM-Y-3.3. This wholly original looking survivor offers bold details with strong mint luster that's slightly subdued by the rich mottled patination and minor earthen deposits adding to it pleasing organic appearance. The details designation is due to a small planchet crack at 1 on the obverse mentioned for accuracy, but is hard a distraction considering the high grade nature of this piece. Despite its shortcomings a highly attractive example of this normally well-worn and crude series of issues with a good look certain to catch the attention even the most advanced collectors.
Estimate: $500.00- $700.00
