(t) CHINA. Kwangtung. 20 Cents, Year 13 (1924). PCGS MS-63.
L&M-155; K-735; KM-Y-424; WS-0970. Alluring satiny texture uniformly coats the surfaces, interrupted by nary a contact mark nor blemish. From a RARE and highly desirable one-year type that perennially remains in strong demand, this Choice piece portrays a handsome portrait of Sun Yat-sen looking forward and slightly left. Some peripheral tan patina can be seen on the character side, a welcome hallmark of original surfaces.
Estimate: $3000 - $4000
