| Lot description: (t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 26 (1900). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58+. L&M-459; K-201; KM-Y-73; WS-0629. Sporting a mostly even gunmetal gray tone, this near-Mint specimen emanates from a pivotal period in Chinese history, with the backdrop of the Boxer Rebellion occurring around the time of its manufacture. Not often encountered in such an elite level of preservation, it exhibits just a slight degree of cabinet friction upon the characters side, accounting for its status as falling just short of Mint State. Nevertheless, a VERY RARE and important opportunity. Estimate: $20000 - $40000 |  |
