Hupeh. Kuang-hsü 50 Cents ND (1895-1905) AU55 NGC, Wuchang mint, KM-Y126, L&M-183, Kann-41. Generally pleasing quality and far from normal condition for the issue, most AU examples of which are found with evidence of past cleaning. While even, light wear occurs over the highpoints, this does little to take away from the coin's eye appeal, which is greatly accentuated by a sunset-tinge surface tone.
