CHINA. Hunan. 7 Mace, ND (1908). Changsha Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-55.
L&M-409; K-977; WS-0900. Issued by the Changsha Firm of Chien-I. Only delicately handled, this handsome specimen delivers much originality, and is evenly coated in a soft mint gloss. The slightest amount of wear is seen on the characters, though this is of the lightest variety, and this wear does very little to detract from the eye appeal of the piece. One of the most popular provincial issuances, this example serves as a wonderful representative of the type, offering much of the appeal of a Mint State specimen, without the Mint State price tag.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
