Charming Fengtien Dollar from the End of the 19th Century
(t) CHINA. Fengtien. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 25 (1899). Fengtien Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC EF Details--Cleaned.
L&M-477; K-248; KM-Y-87.1; WS-0591. Variety with two central (beaded & linear) circles. This VERY RARE type does display some minor cleaning as noted, but nevertheless has begun to reacquire color quite handsomely and majestically. All design facets remain very clear and a minimal degree of gentle handling. Of note, the incuse swirl on the fiery pearl is pronounced and well rendered. No doubt an example that should generate a great deal of interest among the devotees of this ever-popular province.

中有線圈及珠圈。珍稀版別，雖經輕度清洗，但已重新養出迷人色澤，優雅而莊重。細觀之下，圖文清晰可辨，僅留有一絲經手痕跡，更顯其自然流傳之美。尤為難得的是，火珠上的旋紋清晰深刻，栩栩如生，靈動非常。 此版式稀若星斗，加之如此出眾的品相，定能引起藏家們的熱烈追捧，成為眾人矚目的焦點。 (t) On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes.
