CHINA. Fantasy "Empress Tzu-hsi" Silver Dollar, ND. PCGS MS-65.
K-B26; KMX-210; WS-1349-14 Obverse: Empress Tzu Hsi facing with peacock and floral decorative legends; Reverse: Circle of bats surrounding ornamental central design. Truly spectacular, this Dollar showcases a full strike with surfaces that are free from all signs of handling and have acquired magnificent rainbow-hued highlights. Vibrant on both sides, the tone is perhaps most breathtaking around the bats, which are surrounded by flashy blue-purple color. In silver, one of the most desirable fantasy issues imaginable!
