Kweichow. Republic "Auto" Dollar Year 17 (1928) XF40 NGC, KM-Y428, L&M-609, Kann-757, WS-1109. Two blades of grass, ventilator lines terminating in dots variety. Another wonderful representative of this iconic type in the Chinese series which has jettisoned in popularity in the last two decades. Struck to commemorate the completion of Kweichow's first provincial highway and depicting Governor Zhou Xicheng's personal automobile, this design completely departs from numismatic tradition as an explicit visualization of the technological advancement of China, as promoted and outlined by Sun Yat-sen years prior. The representative at hand exhibits a standard state of preservation for the type, but is bestowed with great originality via an autumnal patina of gold, amber, and mottled espresso. Honest wear across the highpoints confirms the designation, yet this piece stands problem-free and attractive, a statement piece for a growing cabinet of Asian rarities.
