CHINA. Fantasy "Communist Lenin" Silver Dollar, 1931. PCGS AU-55.
K-B73; KMX-850; WS-1349-32. An ever-popular type, this example features the bust of Vladimir Lenin, though the countenance does not bear an overwhelming resemblance to the communist revolutionary. Known in multiple obverse and reverse dies, this example displays him with more of a "handlebar" moustache as opposed to the "horseshoe" moustache type. Pleasantly toned and very well preserved. VERY RARE as such.
From the Hobart Collection.
