Description
Lu Kuan Rupee ND (1902-03) VF30 PCGS, Kangding mint, YZM-438, KM-YA1.1, L&M-655. Obv. Chinese legend. Rev. Tibetan legend. The legends are fully legible with some striking softness, mainly in the peripheral areas. This extremely rare issue is often considered the forerunner of the Sichuan Rupee, as it was struck in western Sichuan. It is thought to have been produced to eliminate the large numbers of foreign coins that were circulating in Szechan Province at this time. Examples of this type are extremely rare, and we know of only two others, both appearing in the 2013 Spink-Hong Kong sale of the fantastic Nicholas Rhodes Tibetan Collection.Metal: Silver
Weight: 11.5g
