(t) CHINA. Hupeh. 20 Cents, Year 9 (1920). PCGS AU-53.
L&M-191; K-765; KM-Y-406. A RARE and intensely sought type, similar in appearance to the regular 20 Cents issues of 1914 and 1916, but of a later date and designed with an additional character in front of Yuan Shih-kai's face and behind his head. This example, far better than most seen, shows few marks over either side and significant luster remaining beneath light original tone.
Estimate: $7000 - $10000
