(t) CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. Rupee, ND (1911-33). Chengdu Mint. PCGS EF-45.
L&M-359; K-589; KM-Y-3.2; WS-0757. Variety with collar, vertical rosette, and small "butterfly"-shaped leaf. A VERY RARE and desirable type, this evenly handled and problem-free specimen is undoubtedly one of the more difficult to encounter in the series and should generate great enthusiasm. Some deeper hues around the reverse devices merely elevate its charm that much further.
Estimate: $3000 - $5000
