(t) CHINA. Kirin. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), CD (1905). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Cleaning, AU Details.
L&M-558; K-520; KM-Y-182a.1; WS-0504. Variety with crossed rosettes, hooked "kuang," and dot within Manchu script. Despite the noted prior cleaning, this charming specimen presents a bold strike with excellent overall detail on display. Furthering its appeal and allure, a hint of iridescence has begun to take hold near the peripheries on the dragon side.
Estimate: $600 - $900
