Kuang-hsü 20 Cents ND (1908) AU55 PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y13, L&M-12, Kann-217. Dot at the end of the dragon's tail variety. Certified just shy of Mint State and bound by only the lightest degree of scattered handling traceable throughout. A surprisingly lustrous example that radiates with full mint brilliance across even, argent surfaces and firmly struck devices that display a champagne undercurrent. A thoroughly enticing piece misattributed as a without dot type.
