China
Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 34 (1908) MS61 NGC, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y73.2, L&M-465A, Kann-208, WS-0643. Short central spine on tail variety. Coated in opulent mint frost and strikingly sharp in the central motifs, with a full expression of clarity in the dragon's individual scales and features. Icy luster swirls over the fields upon inspection in hand, revealing no singularly distracting marks and resulting in strong visual appeal for the designation. A compelling and desirable example of this contested type.
