| Lot description: (t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), Year 24 (1898). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-50. L&M-450; K-192; KM-Y-64.1; WS-0619. Variety with round-eyed (1898) dragon. Not often encountered in more elevated states of preservation and without a distraction or two, this lightly circulated specimen retains great overall detail, with the strike quite solid on the characters side. Meanwhile, some glints of brilliance are present in the protected areas, and a subtle pastel tone can be happily seen throughout. Estimate: $10000 - $15000 |  |
