CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 34 (1908). Tientsin (Central) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-465; cf. K-208 (for type); KM-Y-73.2; WS-0642. Frozen date issue with plain 4. Tantalizing overall quality for the type, this nearly-Choice and supremely enchanting "Dragon Dollar" from late in the reign of Kuang-hsu presents glistening brilliance emerging from surfaces that are speckled with a subtle pastel iridescence. Undoubtedly one of the superior examples of this increasingly popular and appreciated type.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
