(t) CHINA. Sinkiang. 5 Mace (Miscals), ND (1910). Hsuan-t'ung (Xuantong [Puyi]). PCGS AU-55.
L&M-819A; K-1136; KM-Y-6.6; WS-1296. Variety with "Chaitai" on characters side, with rosette, and with dragon in inner circle. On the cusp of Mint State status, quite a phenomenal feat for the type, this elegant specimen presents an exceptional strike along with problem-free surfaces that have taken on a tone that is a melange of gunmetal gray and golden-champagne.
Estimate: $1500 - $2000
