Description

Kirin. Kuang-hsü "Flower Basket" Dollar ND (1898) AU50 PCGS, Kirin mint, KM-Y183, L&M-516, Kann-283b, WS-0364, Wenchao-408. Variety with six rows of scales, nine spines on tail, and seven flames on fire ball. Very pleasingly toned to say the least, the coin's rims slightly upturned and acting as borders to a still watery finish located in the outer registers. At first glance a finer coin than the assigned grade would seem to suggest, rub on the whole is made comparatively non-distracting by the offering's battleship gray toning and mild flatness to the higher points of the design. Entirely pleasing on the whole, and worthy of close consideration.

Metal: Silver
Diameter: 38mm
