CHINA. Sinkiang. Imitative Mace (Miscal), ND ("1910"). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC Unc Details--Cleaned.
cf. L&M-826 (for prototype); cf. K-1025 (same); cf. KM-Y-3 (same). Later collector's forgery. Despite being cleaned, this example retains very strong and unworn details, with all the design elements remaining strong. Nearly argent, with some light blushes of red toning near the uppermost periphery. A good example of a type that has developed a strong collector following.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
