(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1897). NGC MS-64.
L&M-210A; K-66a; KM-Y-145.1; WS-0787. Variety with single stroke in "sheng" and ornamented (herringbone) edge. A fabled and enticing type featuring the somewhat cartoonish "old Kiangnan" dragon, this piece stands as the sole finest graded in the NGC census. The strike is sharp, while the surfaces are radiant and nearly clean of any marks whatsoever. Additionally, a subtle iridescent tone augments the character of each side, making this VERY RARE near-Gem a capstone for any extremely advanced provincial collection.
Ex: Chinese Family Collection.
Estimate: $150000 - $225000
