CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. Rupee, ND (1911-33). Chengdu Mint. PCGS MS-62.
L&M-359; KM-Y-3.2; WS-0758-1. Variety with collar, vertical rosette, and no leaf above "si". This lovely example of the popular type provides some frosted luster and a sharp strike, and is free of any of the problems that often beset this issue. Just a touch of marking, but this piece is entirely handsome nonetheless.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
