| Lot description: CHINA. Hupeh-Honan-Anwhei Soviet. Laborers' & Farmers' Bank. Dollar, 1932 (in characters). Chinchiachai Mint. PCGS VF-30. L&M-888; K-803; Y-504; WS-1334. An EXTREMELY RARE and highly important Soviet issue, this crown, the few times in which it is actually encountered, always displays a fairly weak strike. In fact, Kann, who once owned this very piece, even mentions that it "...almost invariably is badly stamped, so that one rarely meets it in perfect condition; usually a part of the design remains invisible." Despite this expected weakness of strike, the present specimen offers a mostly even tone composed of deeper gunmetal gray and some glints of olive. Meanwhile, the level of wear is rather minimal, and surfaces on the whole remain enchantingly problem-free. To view all items from the Nine Dragons Collection, click here.
