Sinkiang. Kuang-hsü Sar (Tael) AH 1325 (1907) VF30 PCGS, Kashgar mint, KM-Y26, L&M-744, Kann-1120, WS-1221. A highly elusive issue, even when found moderately circulated such as this piece. Light gray patina in the centers turn darker, with olive hues, when huddled around the legends and peripheral designs. The soft dragon motif is very common for the type, as these issues were rather crudely created. Highly coveted when found without problems, such as this charming specimen.
