(t) CHINA. Kirin. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), CD (1905). PCGS AU-58.
L&M-558; K-517; KM-Y-182a.1; WS-0502. Variety with dotted KUANG and dot within Manchu script. Bright and lustrous, this handsome example exhibits much original satiny luster on both sides with a faint champagne tone adding a bit of contrast. For this issue the strike is about average with bold central devices and areas of weakness in the legends and high points of the design features. This gently circulated survivor is attractive and pleasing to the eye sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
