(t) CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. Rupee, ND (1911-33). Chengdu Mint. NGC AU-53.
L&M-359; K-589; KM-Y-3.2; WS-0758-1. Variety with collar, vertical rosette, and no leaf above "si". This attractive and lightly circulated example, though displaying some wear, is entirely attractive on account of its problem free nature and still strong details. Some friction and contact consistent for the grade is noted, but nothing outside of what one would normally expect for this grade level.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
