Description

Kirin. Kuang-hsü 20 Cents CD 1908 MS64 NGC, KM-Y181b, L&M-578, Kann-571. Variety with province name written in Manchu characters in center of reverse. A very rare subtype from this provincial series that comes incredibly highly sought-after in this near-gem level, the surfaces beaming with silvery-white mint luster and bathed in full cartwheel effects. Some unevenness of strike exists, typical for the type, but is far from distracting. Currently outranked by only a single example of this variety at NGC, with an XF45 specimen achieving $3250 in Ponterio & Associates' 2010 Hong Kong Auction (lot 213).
