CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. Rupee, ND (1911-33). Chengdu Mint. NGC AU Details--Chopmark.
L&M-359; K-589; KM-Y-3.2; WS-0758-3. Variety with collar, vertical rosette, "si" with strokes, and no leaf above "si". A popular and SCARCE type, this Tibetan Rupee has muted steely gray surfaces and strong detail. As noted by NGC, there is a private countermark on the reverse which, in this cataloger's estimation, adds to the character and charm of this coin.
Estimate: $400 - $600
