CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. Rupee, ND (1902-11). Chengdu Mint. PCGS AU-58.
L&M-360; K-590; KM-Y-3; WS-0755. Variety without collar and with vertical rosette. This lightly circulated example displays some handsome luster and golden toning on the surfaces, along with very little evidence of rub. Some flan roughness is noted, but other than this minor fault, this example reaches a level of beauty unobtainable for most Tibetan pieces from this time.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
