(t) CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1902). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Questionable Color, Unc Details.
L&M-542; K-451; KM-Y-183a.2; WS-0450. Variety with dot in Manchu script and "CAINDARINS". Undoubtedly an immensely attractive and robust example of this RARER crown-sized denomination from Kirin, the present piece offers mostly argent surfaces that slowly yield a golden-russet nature near the edges. Despite the fact that it has been noted as questionable, the color is nonetheless supremely enticing and the surfaces themselves offer a near-prooflike nature. For the advanced collector of provincial issues, it would be difficult to replicate the beauty clearly extant here.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
