China
Yunnan. Republic T'ang Chi-yao gold 5 Dollars ND (1919) MS63 PCGS, Kunming mint, KM-Y481, L&M-1058, Kann-1527. Variety with digit 2 beneath flag tassels. Struck from a slightly "touched-up" pair of dies according to Kann, resulting in a mild degree of softness about the portrait and in the flags. An abundance of shimmering golden luster and careful preservation that leaves only the most insignificant signs of contact confirm the choice designation bestowed by PCGS. A laudable representative of this scarce issue.
