CHINA. Yunnan. 1/2 Tael, ND (1943-44). Hanoi Mint. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, AU Details.
L&M-434; K-941; KM-A1; WS-0703; Lec-322. Struck for use in the French Indo-China opium trade. This example immediately strikes those who look at it on account of the powerful toning on the obverse, mostly turquoise and with some golden and red highlights tossed in. The reverse moderates in color, with good luster remaining on the surfaces. Some evidence of handling is present, along with a mark on the obverse that like accounts for the noted by PCGS.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
