(t) CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1903). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS EF-45.
L&M-547; K-468; KM-Y-183A.2; WS-0465. Variety with dragon's left claw not touching cloud. Immediately one is overwhelmed by the immensely beautiful toning that coats the surfaces, particularly on the dragon's side. Deeply colored, and ranging from light gold to intense plum, the hues on this Dollar are as intense as they are beautiful. Very lightly worn, with limited technical rub on the design elements, with this evidence of circulation being largely confined to the dragon. Alluring in essentially all facets, and worthy of many competitive bids from those collectors enthralled by toned numismatic treasures.
Estimate: $7000 - $10000
