(t) CHINA. Dollar, ND (1927). PCGS AU-55.
cf. L&M-49 (for regular issue); cf. KM-Y-318a (same); WS-0159. "Military" or "Warlord" issue. A supremely handsome example of the military issue, and one that is exceptionally RARE when encountered in this condition. Lovely mottled rainbow toning presents across the obverse surfaces, with hues of pastel reds and blues being most prominent. Very little evidence of friction or rub is noticed, making this example a well rounded representative of a popular type. Certain to engender much contested bidding and fervor.
Estimate: $1500 - $2000
