(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, VF Details.
L&M-449; K-191b; KM-Y-65.2; WS-0616. Variety with dragon's eyes in relief. A handsome example of this popular type with a decent strike and even wear. Evidence of a past cleaning as indicating on the PCGS insert, now subdued by rich mottled latte hued patina. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $900 - $1200
