(t) CHINA. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1908). Tientsin Mint. PCGS EF-45.
L&M-11; K-216; KM-Y-14; WS-0029. Boasting unprecedented attractiveness due to mottled amber, inky blue, and flaxen tone on both sides, the present lightly circulated example brandishes a bold strike with letters and characters well formed. The dragon motif is contrasted by charcoal patina in the recesses, creating an impactful appearance. While remaining luster is uncommon at this grade level, some glinting can be seen around the devices that brightens toning and augments the eye appeal of this seductive piece.
Estimate: $4000 - $6000
