(t) CHINA. Kwangtung. 7.2 Candareens (10 Cents), ND (1890-1908). Kwangtung Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS SPECIMEN-64.
L&M-136A; K-29; KM-Y-200; WS-0946. An exceedingly elusive specimen of the popular Kwangtung provincial 7.2 Candareens, this beauty delivers all the precision and charm one could want from a specially struck example. The strike is full and the rims crisply formed in a way that distinguishes this example from almost any other. Fully argent, the fields are glassy and semi-reflective, with in indescribable charm to them. A few marginal wisps of friction are the only features of note on the planchet, with this being limited and unobtrusive. A wonderful type that any collector of provincial coinage would be delighted to own for their own collection.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
