(t) CHINA. Kirin. 1 Mace 4.4 Candareens (20 Cents), CD (1902). PCGS AU-58+.
L&M-544; cf. K-460a; KM-Y-181a; WS-0462. Hooked "SHENG" and "KUANG". This nicely preserved survivor is bright and lustrous with hints of pale golden tone on the high points and near the edges.
L&M-544; cf. K-460a; KM-Y-181a; WS-0462. Hooked "SHENG" and "KUANG". This nicely preserved survivor is bright and lustrous with hints of pale golden tone on the high points and near the edges.
An interesting aspect of this example is the shape of the "E" in "Province" appears to be a sideways "Kou" (口) and the "R" in "Candareens" appears to as "P." missing most of the front leg. These legend variants do not appear to be listed in Edward Kann's extensive table.
Estimate: $400 - $600
