CHINA. Kiangnan. 7.2 Candareens (10 Cents), ND (1897). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-63.
L&M-213B; K-69; KM-Y-142; WS-0791. Robustly struck, this flashy minor from Kiangnan displays much luster and strong details. Seldom encountered in this condition, early pieces from Kiangnan often are problematic, with this specimen acting as a nice change of pace. Some hints of flan roughness are noted, but such a small detraction should do nothing to dissuade the bidder from placing a premium bid upon this stellar example.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
