(t) CHINA. Szechuan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1901-08). Chengdu Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC VF-30.
L&M-345; K-145; KM-Y-238; WS-0740. Variety with pearl-scaled dragon. Though a fair amount of time in circulation is observed, this deeply toned example still retains more than enough detail to make out this more enticing variant. Of further note, a slight die rotation of about 45 degrees is seen.
Estimate: $1250 - $1750
