(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1898). PCGS Genuine--Graffiti, EF Details.
L&M-217; K-71; KM-Y-145a.2; WS-0797. Variety with dragon's eyes in relief. Well struck with good definition of the fine details. Attractive slate grey throughout, with a lovely blue sheen, this is clearly an example that sat for a prolonged period of time undisturbed. The noted graffiti emanates from an 'X' on the inner portion of the characters side. Also of note are a few small chopmarks--one on each side.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
