Kiangnan. Kuang-hsü Dollar CD 1898 AU55 PCGS, Nanking mint, KM-Y145a.2, L&M-217, Kann-71b, Chang-CH66. Small English letters, Dragon with incuse eyes variety. A rare variety of this fairly plentiful type, and one seldom seen in recent years coming to market. PCGS notes this specimen as the second finest certified, with one finer in an outstanding MS64 designation. The offering is just shy of Mint State levels of preservation and features ample originality still present towards the outer registers by way of notable mint brilliance, evident at a turn of the wrist. While the design is not as whimsical as its ornamented-rim counterpart, the design is still successful, boasting crisp motifs and engraved features lending to clearly defined incuse eyes. Truly a scarce opportunity to acquire such a fine offering.
