Description

Near-Choice "Civilian" Issue

Republic Tsao Kun Dollar ND (1923) MS62 NGC, Tientsin mint, L&M-958, Kann-677, WS-0104. Civilian dress variety. An impressive example of the Tsao Kun Dollar variant, featuring the President of the Republic of China in western-style civilian dress-a distinctive departure from military portraiture of the era. The surfaces are dressed in a lace of russet toning, with subtle dapples of petroleum-blue emerging along the border. Die polish remains visible in the fields, accompanied by a few wispy hairlines that likely account for the near-Choice designation. Even so, the coin exhibits a gratifying underlying luminosity that enhances its overall presentation. An elegant and widely admired issue within the Republic "Portrait" Dollar series.

Metal: Silver
Diameter: 39mm

近精選品相的文曹銀幣

1923年曹錕像憲法成立紀念銀幣。MS62 NGC。
天津造幣廠。文曹。這枚紀念幣刻有中華民國總統曹錕身穿西服的肖像，與身穿軍裝的版別大相徑庭，令人眼前一亮。幣面包覆著一絲赤褐色包漿，邊緣則散落著淡雅的藍黑色斑點。底板上的模具打磨痕跡仍清晰可見，伴以寥寥數道髮絲痕，應是獲評近精選品相的因由。儘管如此，此幣仍散發著耀目閃爍的底板，令整體外觀更上一層樓，實為別緻優雅的出色民國人像幣。
