Republic silver Pattern "Dragon & Phoenix" Dollar Year 12 (1923) MS61 ANACS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y336, L&M-81, Kann-680, WS-0114. Small characters variety. So coveted are these issues that they would become a firm part of Chinese numismatic canon, whose "Dragon & Phoenix" motif would be utilized on minors struck in 1926 as well as a commemorative series six decades later. A richly toned survivor of this celebrated issue, evenly rendered with precision, the present offering displays deeply-engraved motifs with impressive definition. To complement the sharpness, semi-glossy peripheries flash the eyes of the spectator with an exuberant, breathtaking patina. For the discerning Chinese type collector.
