(t) CHINA. Fengtien. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). PCGS Genuine--Cleaning, AU Details.
L&M-472; K-244; KM-Y-87; WS-0584. Wide Mouth Dragon variety. This example is well struck with good definition of the intricate devices and light attractive mottled gray patina. Close inspection reveals evidence of a past cleaning, now slightly subdued and somewhat attractive. Despite its shortcomings a handsome and presentable example of the type sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $3500 - $5000
