(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-50.
L&M-449; K-191; KM-Y-65.2; WS-0616. Variety with solid pupils in dragon's eyes. A more elusive and early date Chihli type, this alluring example emanates a steely-argent brilliance, with a few touches of toning interluding throughout. The strike is strong, with an expressiveness in the dragon that is sometimes lacking on Chihli pieces. Only lightly circulated, with almost complete detail remaining, this strong survivor is certain to find a place in an advanced cabinet of provincial Dollars.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
