Description

CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar, Year 17 (1928). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, VF Details.

L&M-609; K-757; KM-Y-428; WS-1109. Variety with two grass blades. Struck to commemorate the completion of the Kweichow (Guizhou) Provincial Highway and reportedly features Governor Zhou Xicheng's personal automobile. Some striking weakness is noted on the door panels, but other details are still rather strong and appealing, and this stands as a charming overall example of the type.

From the Hobart Collection.

Estimate: $7000.00 - $10000.00

民國十七年貴州省政府造壹圓銀幣。汽車幣。

兩根草。這枚銀幣就是為了紀念貴州高速公路建成而制的,上面的汽車則是周西成自己的座駕。汽車的門板上見弱打,但其他細節整體深邃,此版中可算品相誘人超凡。
