Description
Iconic Mint State "Dragon & Phoenix" Dollar
Republic silver Pattern "Dragon & Phoenix" Dollar Year 12 (1923)
MS61 ANACS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y336, L&M-81, Kann-680,
WS-0114. Small characters variety. So coveted are these issues that
they would become a firm part of Chinese numismatic canon, whose
"Dragon & Phoenix" motif would be utilized on minors struck in 1926
as well as a commemorative series six decades later. A richly toned
survivor of this celebrated issue, evenly rendered with precision,
the present offering displays deeply-engraved motifs with
impressive definition. To complement the sharpness, semi-glossy
peripheries flash the eyes of the spectator with an exuberant,
breathtaking patina. For the discerning Chinese type collector.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 39mm
