(t) CHINA. Kansu. Dollar, Year 3 (1914). PCGS AU-50.
L&M-617; K-759; KM-Y-407; WS-0706. Quite SCARCE and extremely alluring in this wholesome state of preservation, the present example emanates from the ever-popular series of provincial imitations of the Yuan Shih-kai series. The difference with this type, however, lies not in an obvious lower grade of silver or design deficiencies, but rather in the overt "kan su" characters prominently placed around the bust on the obverse. Light gray in color and even offering some hints of brilliance in the protected areas, this resounding example should undoubtedly generate tremendous enthusiasm among the collectors of both Yuan Shih-kai denominations as well as the provincial series.
Estimate: $70000 - $90000
