(t) CHINA. Hunan. Tael, ND (1906). Changsha Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58.
L&M-416; K-952; WS-0927. Obverse: "Hu Nan Guan Qian Ju Zao" (made at the Hunan Official Coin Bureau); Reverse: "Sheng Ping Zu Wen Yi Liang" (provincial weight standard, pure fine silver, one ounce). An incredibly impressive and equally RARE heavy weight "cake" type, the wholesome survivor exhibits very little in the way of handling at all and remains delightfully problem-free. Meanwhile, an enticing cabinet tone offers alluring contrasts, with most of the surfaces displaying a light gray nature and the peripheries and areas highlighting the devices presenting a bit of a darker hue.
Estimate: $15000 - $30000
