China
Republic Yuan Shih-kai "Plumed Hat" Dollar Year 3 (1914) MS60 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y322, L&M-858, Kann-642, Chang-CH214, WS-0094. 39mm. An immensely popular issue we've had the pleasure of handling with increased frequency in recent memory, struck to commemorate Yuan Shih-kai and his contribution to the founding of the Republic of China after the abdication of the last Qing emperor. A fully detailed effigy of the leader remains strongly embossed upon the obverse, dressed in a steel patina that elevates gently frosted devices towards the viewer. Despite the presence of grade-limiting wisps noted throughout, this offering will doubtlessly be met with strong bidder enthusiasm as a coveted Mint State survivor.
