Extremely Rare Pavilion Dollar in Gold with No Lower Legend

Republic of China. Gold Dollar Year 10 (1921) MS62 NGC, minted at Tientsin, Kann-1570a, L&M-1125, KM-Pn66 type, but with reeded edge. 3/4 facing bust of President Hsu Shih-chang. Rev. Entrance to Pavilion in circle, Legend above reading, in Chinese characters, "Chinese Republic, 10th Year, 9th month," without legend below. As the previous coin, issued to commemorate General Hsu Shih-Chang's succession to the office of President, albeit three years late in the striking. Nicely struck, with full, bright luster and a few minor contact marks. This piece is the finer of only two examples of this type listed as certified by NGC. We can reference one other recent example sold at auction; Stack's Bower's & Ponterio sold an example in MS61 in their 3-31-14 sale, Lot 31221, where it realized $55,000. Extremely rare.
