Lot Description

Toned and Choice Half-Rupee CHINA. Szechuan-Tibet. 1/2 Rupee, ND (1904-12). Chengdu Mint. PCGS MS-63. L&M-361; K-595; KM-Y-2; WS-0776. A beautiful piece that defies all expectations for a Szechuan-Tibet specimen, this example renders a vivid luster than sparkles along with rich rainbow toning on the reverse. Some central strike weakness is noted, a common occurrence on these types. We have not offered a Mint State example of the 1/2 Rupee since 2014, highlighting the general RARITY of the piece in this condition. A specimen that should receive no shortage of enthused bids from the specialist in the series. Estimate: $10,000 - $20,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
