(t) CHINA. Hupeh. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1909-11). Wuchang Mint. Hsuan-t'ung (Xuantong [Puyi]). NGC MS-62.
L&M-187; K-45; KM-Y-131; WS-0881. Variety with raised swirl on fiery pearl and no dot within Manchu characters. Gleaming with a luster that seems boundless, this Dollar matches several desirable aspects into a singular coin. The strike is full, rendering commendable details on the flan. The luster is rich and sparkling, providing a handsome sheen to the coin. In addition, several generous dollops of colorful toning serve to brighten up the peripheries of the coin, adding immense charm, particularly on the characters' side. A lovely piece for the collector of handsome provincial coinage.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
