CHINA. Silver Dollar Pattern, Year 18 (1929). Hangchow Mint. NGC Unc Details--Obverse Damage.
L&M-94; K-615; KM-Pn99; WS-0138; Chang-CH196; Wenchao-909 (rarity: ★★). English Design from London Mint dies. From the series of proposed patterns by some of the world's leading minting facilities and artists, this VERY RARE British entrant does exhibit some noted obverse damage in the form of scattered hairlines, but only dull the brilliance slightly. Meanwhile, the reverse stands quite majestically, with stunning luster and a light tone that offers hints of carnival glass iridescence. This particular design for the Sun Yat-sen Dollar was prepared by Langford Jones, and is especially notable in depicting turbulent seas upon the reverse.
Estimate: $15000 - $20000
