This exquisite uncirculated example of the exceedingly popular Chihli type is EXTREMELY RARE when offered in Mint State. The problem-free surfaces are nicely struck and boast a rich amount of details. Meanwhile, handsome mint luster still clings to the surfaces, and a light golden red tinge colors the dragon side. Far less handled than one might expect from the grade, this piece stands as an example with exceeding eye appeal and dazzling color. A piece that is destined for the finest of numismatic collections.
