October 2022 Hong Kong World Coins Auction

Lot Description: Softly Lustrous & Strongly Detailed Kirin Dollar CHINA. Kirin. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1899). Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-61. L&M-521; K-385; KM-Y-183; WS-0395. Variety with hooked "kuang". A bold and well detailed example of this uncommon provincial type, this Dollar is supremely RARE when preserved this nicely, being surpassed by only one example on the NGC census. Soft waxy luster coats the surfaces, adding an original charm to the piece. Original mint brilliance remains on the piece, something that is beyond elusive for Kirin issues. A piece that displays far fewer faults than might be expected for the grade, with a slight strike weakness being the only noteworthy qualification. A wonderful example deserved of a strong bid from the dedicated specialist in Kirin types. Estimate: $15,000 - $20,000. Click here for certification details from NGC.
