China: Republic Sun Yat-sen "Lower Five-Pointed Stars" Dollar ND (1912) MS64 PCGS,...

Description

Republic Sun Yat-sen "Lower Five-Pointed Stars" Dollar ND (1912) MS64 PCGS, Nanjing mint, KM-Y319, L&M-42, Kann-603, WS-0085, Wenchao-847 (rarity 3 stars). Variety with lower five-pointed stars on reverse. Commemorating the Birth of the Republic. A stunning near gem specimen, representing the first year of issue for this timeless and quintessentially Chinese type struck upon the founding of the Republic of China. Despite a relatively high certified population--with over 400 examples seen to-date by PCGS alone--remarkably few grade finer than the present piece, and certainly few come close in offering as splendid a visual allure; obverse and reverse alike brim with die polish lines overlaid by a charming mottled cabinet tone.

1912年孫中山像開國紀念幣壹圓「下五星版」。MS64 PCGS。
南京鑄，珍稀度三星。紀念民國開國。品相近乎GEM級的一枚，代表了就中華民國成立這種永恆典型的中國幣發行的第一年。儘管證實了其相對高的發行量（PCGS迄今已找到多於400枚），但比目前這枚高的評份不多，並且肯定沒有幾枚能提供這樣出色的視覺吸引力。正面和背面的邊緣均帶有迷人斑駁的包漿覆蓋著模具壓鑄線條。
