(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1898). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details.
L&M-449; K-191; KM-Y-65.2; WS-0616. Variety with dragon's eyes in relief. Though cleaned, the present example is an otherwise charming specimen, with uncommonly strong details and some retoning that has started to coat the surfaces that have been unnaturally brightened by the aforementioned cleaning. Very little evidence of actual rub is seen on the details, making it a presentable representative of the type.
Estimate: $3000 - $5000
