Description

Spectacular and Magnificently Toned Rarity

Republic Yuan Shih-kai "Plumed Hat" Dollar ND (1916) MS65+ PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y332, L&M-942, Kann-663. Struck for the inauguration of Yuan Shih-kai as Emperor Hung-hsien. A remarkable example of this widely recognized Republican rarity, immersed in gently dappled amber tones and speckled with aged copper hues, touches of fiery red coloration enlivening the fields and devices. This difficult type remains a scarce commodity in finer grades, particularly so past choice levels of certification, yet enters into a new league of rarity at the gem level. This specimen, with its "plus" designation, represents the near-peak of what we have ever seen for the type and promises to serve as one of the indisputable highlights of this sale.

包漿出衆的袁像飛龍銀幣

1916年袁世凱像中華帝國洪憲紀元銀幣。MS65+ PCGS。
天津鑄。為袁世凱就任洪憲帝就職而鑄。這是廣為人知的民國幣系列中品相出眾的一枚，整體呈柔和斑駁的琥珀包漿，並點綴著陳舊的銅色包漿，火紅的色彩為底板和圖文增添了吸引力。在較高份評級中，這品種仍然稀缺，尤其是達到精選的評級，而在GEM級更是稀少。這個標有「加號」的一枚代表了我們所見過的該類型的最佳狀態，並有望成為此次拍賣中的重點之一。
