(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1903)-HAH. Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Tooled, EF Details.
L&M-251; K-96; KM-Y-145a.10; WS-0850. Variety with five-pointed star and unhooked "kwei". This nice example provides strong details of this popular design, despite the evident and obvious tooling on the reverse. In the interest of completeness, this piece has also been chopmarked and subjected to a cleaning. Though being host to all these common flaws, this example provides the collector with a reasonably priced representative of the type.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
