Republic Yuan Shih-kai "Plumed Hat" Dollar ND (1914) UNC Details (Cleaned) PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y322, L&M-858, Kann-642. Issued to commemorate the Founding of the Republic. A most inspiring rendition of this instantly recognizable issue, featuring a stoic, finely rendered portrait Yuan Shih-kai in full military attire. Ample flash resounds across the argent expanses, though examination from an angle reveals fine hairlines across the surfaces yet doing little to hinder the majority of its appeal. Despite the qualifier, the piece at hand remains an affordable example of this contested type and thus will pique the interest of type collectors everywhere. From the Monrovia Collection
