CHINA. Tibet. Sho, Year 15 (1834/5). Emperor Tao-Kuang (Daoguang). PCGS AU-55.
L&M-650; KM-C-93; WS-0229. A survivor worthy of the highest praise, this sole finest graded by PCGS Sho offers an almost irresistible charm to its manufacture. The devices are generally well applied to the thin flan, with a shimmering white sparkle to the surfaces. A touch of strike softness is noted, but very little technical wear is seen. Some original mint bloom is even retained across the characters, highlighting the incredible state of preservation of this example. This lot provides perhaps the only chance to acquire a specimen of this early type as nice.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
