(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, EF Details.
L&M-449; K-191b; KM-Y-65.2; WS-0617. Variety with dragon's eyes in relief. An ever-popular type, this decently preserved and wholesome survivor exhibits a good strike with even wear displaying attractive rich mottled sunset and dusky hued patina on both sides. Evidence of a past cleaning from long ago, now subdued by the rich patination offering a pleasing appearance. Despite its shortcomings this handsome example has a good looking and nice eye appeal great for an intermediate collector looking to expand their numismatic holdings.

Estimate: $1000 - $1500
