China
Yunnan. Republic 1/2 Tael ND (1943-1944) MS63 NGC, KM-X1a (prev. KM-A1.2; under French Indo-China), L&M-434, Lec-322. Struck for use in the French Indo-China opium trade. Capturing the profound historical intrigue of the opium trade, this well-preserved specimen resonates with an indomitable authenticity rare among its contemporaries, often bearing the marks of their utilitarian 'work-horse' role, with few spared from frequent use or subsequent wear. Therefore, the Mint State preservatio... | 9 Dec 2023 | 3,800 USD | |

Yunnan. Republic 1/2 Tael ND (1943-1944) MS63 PCGS, KM-X1a (prev. KM-A1.2; under French Indo-China), L&M-434, Lec-322. Struck for use in French Indo-China. An extremely impressive survivor and relic of the opium trade, with the "work-horse" nature of these pieces--created to help maintain a monopoly on the trade by French customs authorities--leading to few preserving such originality as seen here. A delight to behold in such pristine, Mint State assignment, steeped in an all-encompassin... | 9 Dec 2023 | 6,000 USD | |

China
Yunnan. Republic Tael ND (1943-1944) MS63+ PCGS, KM-X3 (under French-Indo China), L&M-435, Kann-939, Lec-325. Small deer head type. A universally revered type from this ever-popular Tael series, not only because of its interesting historical application during the 20th century opium trade, but because of the vastly different design than its "Fu" character counterpart. Brilliant and one of the finest of this type we've handled, seemingly deserving of a near-Gem assignment.

China
Yunnan. Republic Tael ND (1943-1944) AU58 NGC, KM-X3 (prev. KM-A3; under French-Indo China), L&M-435, Kann-939, Lec-325. Small deer head type. Sure to be hotly contested, this relic of the 20th-century opium trade has surged in popularity of late, due in part to the peculiar design elements. This example possesses glamorous luster and a fully rendered deer head. The wisping noted across the flan is usual for the type, even for such a spectacularly preserved example.
