| Lot description: China Republic Sun Yat-sen "Upper Five-Pointed Stars/Dot Below Ear" Memento Dollar ND (1927) MS62 NGC, KM-Y318.1 (1912), L&M-48 (1928), WS-0158 (1927). Five-pointed upper stars variety with dot below ear. Founding of the Republic commemorative. A more collectible type and one found with little frequency compared to its no-dot counterpart. Despite debate and disagreement over the dating of the issue--with both Lin and Ma and NGC dating the issue to 1928, while the Standard Catalog of World Coins and PCGS place it at 1912--more modern scholarship points to 1927 as the date of production, coinciding with the 16th anniversary of the People's Republic, and also marking the first usage of the "Memento" legend on the coins prior to the adoption of the 6-pointed stars design later the same year. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/china-republic-sun-yat-sen-upper-five-pointed-stars-dot-below-ear-memento-dollar-nd-1927-ms62-ngc-/a/3111-34070.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-3111-12092023 HID02906262019 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved Estimate: 10000-15000 USD |  |
