CHINA. Fantasy "Empress Long Yu" Gold Dollar, CD ("1885"). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, Unc Details.
K-B14; KMX-191; cf. WS-1349-10 (silver). Another example of this VERY RARE and ever-popular type, featuring Empress "Long Yu" as traditionally attributed, though very likely the Empress Dowager Cixi instead. In either event, an exceptional specimen, with no evidence of any wear or rub upon the high points and exhibiting just a light degree of the noted cleaning.
Estimate: $20000 - $30000
