China
Republic Sun Yat-sen "Birds Over Junk" Dollar Year 21 (1932) AU55 NGC, KM-Y344, L&M-108, Kann-622, WS-0144. Limited to just a single year of production owed to criticism that its design motifs appeared to have a pro-Japanese leaning, the example at hand finds itself a most coveted issue regardless of grade. Gently handled and carrying dark silhouettes against gunmetal appearances throughout, the piece on offer stands out to the more price-conscious collectors of this hotly contested type.
