China
Republic Yuan Shih-kai "Plumed Hat" Dollar ND (1916) AU Details (Scratch) PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y332, L&M-942, Kann-663, WS-0097. Struck for the inauguration of Yuan Shih-kai as Emperor Hung-hsien. The lesser encountered "Plumed Hat" type notable for the evocative flying dragon impressed upon cabinet-toned gunmetal expanses accented in lavender, where only mild surface friction and the occasional scratch establishes the grade. An offering that will doubtlessly be met with strong bidder enthusiasm from the Chinese type collector.
