(t) CHINA. Dollar, ND (1916). Tientsin Mint. NGC MS-64.
L&M-942; K-663; KM-Y-332; WS-0097. Variety with reeded edge, no signature, and horizontal on dragon's right wing visible. Quite majestic and beautiful, this delightful near-Gem "flying dragon" Dollar celebrates the inauguration of Yuan Shih-kai as the Hung Hsien Emperor--a title which would sadly be rather short-lived. Beautiful russet-gray toning combines with some enticing underlying brilliance, ultimately yielding captivating eye appeal.
Estimate: $30000 - $40000
