(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1900). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Chopmark, EF Details.
L&M-229; K-81a; KM-Y-145a.4; cf. WS-0818. Variety with small "tze" and "full scales" dragon. With the noted chopmark near the central field on the characters side, this charming example just misses a "straight" grade, but nevertheless is without much in the way of handling and presents a slightly different dragon style than is normally encountered.
Estimate: $1250 - $1750
