CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. 1/2 Rupee, ND (1904-12). Chengdu Mint. PCGS AU-58.
L&M-361; K-595; KM-Y-2; WS-0776. Impressive in essentially all respects, this fractional Rupee delights the eye with its tremendous beauty. The strike is bold and impressive, far surpassing the normal quality on the issue. The slightest rub is present on the obverse bust, though this is marginal and does little to affect the beauty. Some deep toning coats the surfaces, with patches of mint brilliance that still shine through. A specimen that is worthy of adulation, and we therefore have lofty expectations for this RARE minor.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
