(t) CHINA. Kirin. 1 Mace 4.4 Candareens (20 Cents), CD (1905). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC AU-58.
L&M-559; K-523; KM-Y-181a; WS-0506. Variety with dot inside Manchu script. This lovely and lightly handled example yields an attractive luster and very little evidence of actual handling. Delicate blushes of attractive golden toning adhere themselves to the fields, with very few marks present. A strong, seldom rivaled example of the type.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
