Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 24 (1898) AU50 PCGS, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y65.2, L&M-449. Dragon's eyes in relief variety. Boasting a full strike that admits only light high point wear from honest circulation, and appreciable remaining details on the intricately rendered dragon. Sumptuously patinated in mushroom and clay hues that allow full appreciation of the famous motifs. A perennially sought-after type that is challenging to locate in straight grades, and we anticipate keen interest from quality-conscious bidders.
