China: Kirin. Kuang-hsü Dollar CD 1903 MS61 NGC,...
Description
Elusive Mint State Issue of Kirin
Kirin. Kuang-hsü Dollar CD 1903 MS61 NGC, Kirin mint,
KM-Y183a.2, L&M-547, Kann-468, Chang-CH111, WS-0465. Variety
with dragon's left claw not touching cloud. The first Mint
State-graded example of the issue we have had the privilege to
offer, and one of only around 18 or so certified in similar
conditional preservations. Imbued with icy elements across the
surfaces, this piece preserves ample satin texture around the
devices, all while a prominent cartwheel luster easily traverses
the planchet when tilted under good light. Whereas many of the
silver Dollars minted in Kirin during this period come unevenly
struck or poorly preserved, this offering certainly stands as an
outlier.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 39mm

罕見全品吉林省壹圓
癸卯（1903年）吉林省造光緒元寶「太極圖」七錢二分銀幣。MS61 NGC。吉林造幣廠。龍左爪不觸雲。此為敝司首度有幸經手原廠狀態的例子，品相相若者僅十八枚左右。幣面冰寒銀亮，圖文間泛映著脈脈光芒。若在燈光下輕輕轉動，飽滿耀目的車輪光澤於幣坯上繚繞流淌。當時的吉林龍洋大多鑄打力度不均或品相參差，此例品相出類拔萃。
Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000.
