CHINA. Fukien. 3.6 Candareens (5 Cents), ND (1894-1908). Fukien Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-294; K-127; KM-Y-102.1; WS-1034. Deeply toned and exotic, this nearly-choice minor presents a good deal of radiance underneath the dark color. There seems to be some confusion regarding the chronology of this issue, as PCGS has suggested dating to the 1903-08 period, with L&M suggesting 1894, Kann suggesting ca. 1898, and WS pointing to 1894-1900.
Estimate: $800 - $1200
