(t) CHINA. Silver Dollar Pattern, Year 18 (1929). Hangchow Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-63.
L&M-94; K-615; KM-Pn99; WS-0138; Chang-CH196; Wenchao-909 (rarity: ★★). English Design from London Mint dies. From the series where China sought patterns from the foremost world mints, this London Mint product probably shows the most variation of any of the designs, with a vastly different profile of Sun Yat-sen and three bold waves on the reverse. Quite beautiful, this example provides reserved luster and an intense dollop of toning on the sea, with the surfaces otherwise being mostly white. The strike quality is exacting, rendering this specimen as a beautiful, wholly artistic representation. Among the most popular of Republican patterns, and certain to be strongly demanded as such.
Ex: Liu Collection.
Estimate: $100000 - $150000
