(t) CHINA. Taiwan. Copper-Nickel Yuan Pattern, Year 38 (1949). PCGS SPECIMEN-58.
KM-PnA17. At the cusp of Mint State status, this exceptional and HIGHLY RARE pattern issue in cupronickel exhibits a high degree of lustrous brilliance remaining as well as some subtle slate gray-olive toning sprinkled throughout. Save for just a hint of friction upon the highest points, this piece assuredly is one of the finest that one can hope to encounter, as PCGS has certified a mere four that better it.
Estimate: $6000 - $9000
