(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1899). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS EF-45.
L&M-223; K-75; KM-Y-145a.3; WS-0807. Variety with new style dragon. Despite some obvious time in circulation, this pre-20th century crown nevertheless remains entirely wholesome and original, with no problems noted and only light, even wear across the high points. Meanwhile, some rather deep cabinet tone resides within the recesses, the higher points taking on a lighter nature, offering a delightful two-toned appearance to each side. A great example and tremendous survivor of the emission.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
