CHINA. 20 Dollars, Year 8 (1919). Tientsin Mint. PCGS MS-62.
L&M-1029; Fr-4; K-1530; KM-Y-331; WS-0058. This enchanting example of the highest denomination struck during the Republican period demonstrates a stalwart contingent of mint luster that washes over the eyes of the viewer in a saturated display of honey golden color. Semi-reflective fields offer a prooflike appearance that contrasts wonderfully with the sharply struck devices. The decorative border ties together the charming strike and lustrous brilliance into a complete package of artistry. Some friction accounts for the grade, but this desirous and VERY RARELY encountered piece should demand much attention from all owners of premium Chinese numismatic cabinets.
