CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. 1/4 Rupee, ND (1904-12). Chengdu Mint. PCGS AU-58.
L&M-362; K-596; KM-Y-1; WS-0777. A lovely fractional, this piece is VERY RARE when preserved in this condition. Nicely struck and richly toned with wonderful rainbow toning, it nears the summit of beauty for the series, with very little evidence of actual handling. Certain to receive spirited bidding, this example may far surpass the estimate to reach a dizzying height.
Estimate: $7000 - $10000
