(t) CHINA. Kwangtung. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), ND (1890-1908). Kwangtung Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-134; K-27; KM-Y-202; WS-0943. Undoubtedly a cut above that which is normally encountered for the type, this shimmering piece presents a prooflike brilliance to the surfaces and a sharp, enticing strike. The die characteristics parallel those of the Dollar locally produced from Heaton Mint dies-namely with respect to the small rosettes as well as the unconnected right-side characters on the top and bottom of the characters side. Furthering its strong appeal, a hint of golden toning appears at the peripheries, enveloping the entrancing look. Worthy of intense consideration for the most advanced cabinets of the provincial series or vintage Chinese coins in general, as allure this enchanting is quite RARE.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
