CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1898). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-53.
L&M-510; K-283; KM-Y-183; cf. WS-0364. Variety with fine scales and seven flames on fiery pearl. An incredibly handsome specimen, this beautiful and lightly circulated example demonstrates wholesome and fully original charm. Only a light pattern of wear is seen on the surfaces, with no exceptionally effaced design elements. Some incredibly attractive toning highlights the reverse, giving this piece a golden glow. Some hits are noted for completeness, but given the problem free status of this example, a change for the average Kirin Dollar, we expect fierce bidding to ensue for this lot. A wonderful piece that offers SCARCE condition.
