(t) CHINA. Kirin. 1 Mace 4.4 Candareens (20 Cents), CD (1908). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-63+.
L&M-574; K-567; KM-Y-181; WS-0537. Evergreen basket type. The sole finest example graded by PCGS, and one of only four total to have earned a Mint State grade, this example of the VERY SCARCE variety firmly expresses itself with a strong strike and handsome details unafflicted by wear. Strong original mint luster remains, and the surfaces provide a cool and satiny finish of light blue. Very little contact is present, and the surfaces displays about all the eye appeal that one could ever want. An example that is certain to be hotly contested on account of its beauty alone.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
