(t) CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1898). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-516; K-281; KM-Y-183; WS-0363. Variety with dragon with five rows of scales. Drenched in original mint luster and brilliance, this Dollar from Kirin is nearly unmatched, with only four examples across the different varieties surpassing this one, highlighting the tremendous RARITY. Golden color is handsomely tucked into the crevasses, providing a welcome contrast. Almost no marking or contact is seen, making this example a premium piece, and giving it the look of a fully choice example.
Estimate: $15000 - $30000
