(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1903)-HAH. Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58.
L&M-251; K-96; KM-Y-145a.10; WS-0850. Variety with five-pointed star and unhooked "kwei". Immensely attractive, the present example is exceedingly SCARCE when offered in condition approaching this, displaying a wholesome luster beneath a sea of swirling color of nearly the entire rainbow. Some ever so slight rub is presented on the surfaces, though this is not overtly distracting. Certain to be demand on account of its preservation and rich color by the many collectors of Dragon Dollars.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
