Republic Yuan Shih-kai gold Specimen Pattern "Plumed Hat" Dollar ND (1916) MS62 NGC, Nanjing mint, KM-Pn44, L&M-1114, Kann-1560, WS-0061, Wenchao-55 (rarity three stars). Arguably the culmination of the Plumed Hat series, this exceedingly coveted commemorative was struck to memorialize Yuan Shih-kai's ill-fated monarchial campaign and his adoption of the title Emperor Hung-hsien. This specimen waits at the vestibule of Choice preservation, displaying hardly any weakness even under the aid of magnification and invigorated by rich gamboge silhouetting. Wenchao forwarded two primary theories as to the impetus to create this presentation striking, it being minted either for the President in preparation for his revival of the Empire in 1916, or otherwise struck by mischievous Nanjing mint workers in 1919. Nonetheless, this opportunity should be an easy consideration for those looking to complete or upgrade their Plumed Hat collection.
