Yunnan. Republic T'ang Chi-yao 50 Cents ND (1916) AU Details (Surface Hairlines) NGC, Kunming mint, KM-Y480, L&M-862, Kann-674. A highly respectable representation of this commemorative type depicting popular military leader General T'ang Chi-yao and imbued with steely appearances and lavishly struck details. Faint evidence of a prior cleaning is visible via light hairlines and an overall muted appearance to the fields and devices, but a fetching specimen nonetheless.
