(t) CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1905). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-53.
L&M-557; K-513; KM-Y-183A.3; WS-0494. Spiked horn (large scales) variety with hooked "kuang" and dotted "sheng," and with dot in Manchu script. A type that is normally encountered replete with problems, this example provides a welcome change of pace with lightly lustrous and problem free surfaces. Mottled toning occasionally brushes the surface, dotting this piece with some handsome apricot and deep tone areas. Some light rub from circulation is seen on the highest elements of the design, though this is not aggressive nor disfiguring. A pleasant and wholesome representative example.
Estimate: $7000 - $10000
