Hsüan-t'ung 10 Cents Year 3 (1911) XF40 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y28, L&M-41, Kann-230. A highly desirable minor type meant for general circulation throughout the Empire, and one always contested in any grade when crossing the auction block. Completely devoid of the usual condition issues accompanying the series, this choice, gently circulated issue showcases seemingly matte-like pewter-gray surfaces, highlighted by a gentle reflectivity witnessed to the obverse (reverse as holdered).
