L&M-248; K-93; KM-Y-145a.9; WS-0846. Variety with top part of "Yin" straight. Populating the fields are bumpy lines of lustrous metal flow, an artifact of the original striking process that generates the reflectivity coins are known for. Mainly argent with champagne-brown color and a hint of sapphire over surfaces unmolested by contact marks or handling. Detectable wear is only present between the horns of the dragon, and, flaunting its many Mint State qualities, one could be forgiven for considering this piece Uncirculated upon first glance.
