CHINA. Sinkiang. 5 Fen (1/2 Miscal), AH (12)95 (1878). Kashgar Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58.
L&M-678; K-1037; KM-Y-A7.24; WS-1158. Providing a charming example of the often crude type, this minor offers a strong strike that is fairly well centered considering the issue. Some mint luster remains on the surfaces, and very little evidence of actual circulation can be spotted.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
