Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 25 (1899) AU58 NGC, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y73, L&M-454, Kann-196. A popular first-year of issue from this Chihli Dollar series boasting a substantially altered reverse design from earlier dollars of this province. The verifiable key date, and rarely seen outside of circulated states of preservation, this offering finds itself just shy of Mint State designations with exactly rendered designs and a nearly as-struck level of detail over muted fields and silty patina.
