cf. L&M-503 (for rough prototype); K-F914; KMX-M322; WS-1349-65. This fantasy Tael, which was influenced by the EXTREMELY RARE official issue of 1884 (L&M-503), features a great deal of glistening brilliance along with a particularly alluring golden-russet tone near the peripheries. Immensely captivating and charming, and an excellent substitute for a type that verges upon being unobtainable.
