(t) CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. Rupee, ND (1911-33). Chengdu Mint. PCGS MS-63.
L&M-359; K-589; KM-Y-3.2; WS-0758-2. Variety with collar, vertical rosette, and small leaf above "si". An attractive, well-struck, and lustrous example; all of which are of the most uncommon nature for the type which often comes with problems to one degree or other. Boasting an incredible patina of intoxicating colors that swirl into a singular rainbow essence, this piece runs the gambit from electric blue to goldenrod. An example nearly without peer, and one that defies belief with its tremendous condition.
Estimate: $7500 - $15000
