CHINA. Kiangnan. 3.6 Candareens (5 Cents), CD (1899). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-65.
L&M-228; K-80; KM-Y-141a; WS-0814. The single-finest example of the date certified across both major services, this shimmering Gem minor offers blast white brilliance and an enticing argent nature. The strike is fairly alluring, with the overall surface quality clearly unrivaled and unmatched. Meanwhile, a subtle golden-almond tone further accentuates the ocular experience. With a paucity of exampled offered, it may be quite a long time until the premium collector is able to acquire another example of the type, essentially making this a must buy for those interested in the highest quality of this RARE provincial coinage.
Estimate: $35000 - $50000
