(t) CHINA. Yunnan. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), ND (1909-11). PCGS MS-61.
L&M-426; K-176; KM-Y-259; WS-0690. Variety with seven flames on fiery pearl. Enchanting, pure white surfaces are atypically well preserved for the grade, with almost no sign of contact marks or blemishes on the dragon side. The strike is exceptionally bold, far in excess of what is commonly seen for the issue, as the English legends are resolutely formed up. An excellent choice for the specialist in Chinese minor coinage.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
