CHINA. Kiangnan. 7.2 Candareens (10 Cents), CD (1899). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-61.
L&M-227; K-79; KM-Y-142A.2; WS-0813. "72" variety. An impressive early issuance from Kiangnan, this specimen nearly defies belief with a state of preservation that is beyond uncommon for the issue. Attractive luster remains, with just a touch of marking and friction noted for completeness. A RARE Mint State example, and one that should excite any collector of Chinese provincial pieces.
Estimate: $800 - $1200
