STRAITS SETTLEMENTS. Crown Colony. 50 Cents, 1891. London Mint. Victoria. PCGS AU-58.
KM-13; Prid-18. This incredibly lustrous, near-Mint example displays semi-mirrored fields and a sharp strike on the surfaces. Mostly white, with just a touch of light golden color, this example certainly bears all the eye appeal one could ask for. Some friction on the surfaces likely prevents this minor from reaching an Uncirculated grade level, but, even still, a piece that should intrigue all those who collect issues from the Straits Settlements.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
