(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1904)-HAH CH. Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-65.
L&M-257; K-99; KM-Y-145a.12; WS-0858. Variety without dots under "chia" and "chen". Surpassed by only one example on the PCGS registry, this majestic survivor from Kiangnan province nearly defies explanation. Fully a Gem, the devices are struck without hesitancy and the are largely unmarked, save for the faintest of contact. An incredibly vibrant and entrancing pattern of toning is speckled across the surface, with indigo and gold layered on. Underlying luster cartwheels light from beneath the toning, completing this piece's eye appeal. An example that is certain to captivate all provincial collectors, as examples of this type in this grade simply do not appear on the market particularly frequently.
Estimate: $20000 - $40000
