Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 24 (1898) VF Details (Cleaning) PCGS, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y65.2, L&M-449, Kann-191. Variety with dragon's eyes in relief. Mildly retoned since its past cleaning long ago, leaving peach and navy tones that reach a crescendo over the coin's obverse (reverse as holdered). For the sake of completeness, we note the presence of what appears to be a small chopmark in the center of the dragon's pearl.
