Republic Yuan Shih-kai Dollar Year 3 (1914) AU50 PCGS, cf. KM-Y329, L&M-63D, Kann-649, WS-0708. Kansu type. Curved stroke Min variety. Exhibiting a very carefully executed style to both the obverse and reverse central motifs, with each feature of Yuan Shih-kai's portrait cut in a painstaking style so often missing from the series. Though wispy hairlines define the grade, a mild die shift has left a distinctive pattern of flow lines silhouetting each character.
