Kiangnan. Kuang-hsü 20 Cents CD 1899 MS64 NGC, Nanking mint, KM-Y143a.2, L&M-225, Kann-77. Old style dragon variety. An enticing representative of the type, featuring a bold and precisely rendered old-style dragon fully embossed upon a silty patinated expanse, serving to gentle mute what would otherwise be brilliant cartwheel luster. Conditionally scarce when certified finer than choice, and we note that only six examples currently rank finer between NGC and PCGS.
