CHINA. Yunnan. 1/2 Tael, ND (1943-44). NGC MS-64+.
L&M-434; K-941; KM-A1.2; WS-0703; Lec-322. Struck for use in the French Indo-China opium trade. An incredibly dazzling and vibrant example of the type, this intoxicating specimen features cartwheel brilliance that radiates majestically when cradled back and forth in one's hand. The finest example certified in the NGC census, and tied with just one other at MS-64+ with one specimen seen at PCGS (the finest there). Undoubtedly worthy of a strong bid for a type that is never seen at Gem status.
Estimate: $15000 - $20000
