| Lot description: (t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 23 (1897). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-50. L&M-444; cf. K-186C; KM-Y-65.1; WS-0611. Variety with dragon's eyes as triangles. Featuring an engaging design, this alluring survivor presents an almond-gray tone that deepens slightly around the devices and nearer the rims. The details remain quite clear, owing to a solid strike and very little time spent in commerce. Furthermore, one notes an interesting cross (+) located just above the tail, before the longer spines begin. This "secret" mark, along with an incuse cross right below it, centrally located on the tail, are an interesting aspect, especially when compared to the cross composed of five pellets (below the swirl on the fiery pearl) that appears on many of the issues from this year as well. Estimate: $10000 - $15000 |  |
