(t) CHINA. Kwangtung. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1890-1908). Kwangtung Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-63.
L&M-133; K-26; KM-Y-203; WS-0941. Variety with small rosettes (struck from Heaton Mint dies). Demonstrating a wholesome sheen of luster, this charmingly toned example displays a crisp strike and the exquisite detail that typically distinguishes Kwangtung products. Some wispy friction is spotted on the reverse, though this is wholly consistent for the grade. Apricot and plum color add to the beauty of the luster, essentially creating a light show near the peripheral borders. As an ever popular type, this strong example is certain to command much attention.
Estimate: $15000 - $20000
