CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar (7 Mace 2 Candareens), Year 17 (1928). NGC VF-35.
L&M-609; K-757; KM-Y-428; WS-1109. Variety with two grass blades. This always popular type was struck to commemorate the completion of Kweichow Provincial Highway which, according to Kann, was the first motor car road in the province. Allegedly featuring the personal vehicle of Governor Chow Hsi-chien (Zhou Xicheng), this piece has passed into numismatic lore on account of the unique design. Rather wholesome and enticing, this attractively toned and RARE issue features a gunmetal gray allure with solid overall detail. A great rendition with clear details throughout.
Estimate: $20000 - $30000
