| Lot description: CHINA. Fukien. Dollar, ND (1844). Tao-kuang (Daoguang). PCGS Genuine--Chopmark, AU Details. L&M-291; K-6; WS-1029; Wenchao-200 (rarity: ★★★★). Changchow Military Ration issue. A type that is fairly RARE, as indicated by the fact that this is the first such example that we have offered since 2016. Adding even more intrigue is the overall condition of the present example. Though some contemporary chopmarks are noted upon each side, these aspects are wholly consistent with the issue, and are rather easily discounted. The level of circulation is very minimal, with a good deal of lustrous brilliance remaining in the fields. Following up its impressive status is the fact that it emanates from one of the most renowned collections known to the vintage Chinese series--that of Eduard Kann.
