(t) CHINA. Hupeh. Tael, Year 30 (1904). Wuchang Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-62.
L&M-180; K-933; KM-Y-128.2; WS-0878. Small characters variety. This Mint State example of the always popular and massive type does not lack for luster, with a bright original vibrance that cartwheels softly in the light. A few light instantions of contact are noted, though these generally do not cross the devices or distract from the beauty of the example. A light wispy tone elegantly dabs across the surfaces, with delicate golden and plum hints interspersed throughout. A Tael that presents its beauty with a clarity and forthrightness that is certain to catch the eye of any specialist in Chinese RARITIES.
Estimate: $150000 - $200000
