Lot description:


(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1898). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-217; K-71; KM-Y-145A.2; WS-0797. Variety with dragon's eyeballs in relief. One of the more elite and stately examples of the type that one will likely encounter, this nearly-Choice crown dazzles with a glistening, highly argent flair throughout each side, with luster cartwheeling from the surfaces and some very subtle burnished toning accentuating the edges. Full of boundless eye appeal, it represents a seldom seen opportunity for an exceptional specimen featuring the popular "old style" dragon, here with eyes focused directly upon the viewer.
