- Radiant Gem Chihli "Dragon Dollar" with Stunning Luster
CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 23 (1897). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-66.
L&M-444; cf. K-186; KM-Y-65.1; WS-0610. Variety with dragon displaying triangle-eyes with pupils and long horns. No other example of this type can boast the beauty of the present specimen offered here. Seldom offered in Mint State, this stunner stands alone at the top as the sole finest graded example. Somewhat frosty, but still showy, luster dazzles and dances in a graceful ballet of refraction. Essentially no contact to speak of is seen and certainly nothing to break the luster. Just a twinge of sunny toning radiates from the top obverse and reverse periphery, enlivening the surfaces. In this state of preservation, this lot is most assuredly one of the finest lots offered in the entire sale, and the RARITY ensures that the price realized will be much talked about for years.
Estimate: $150,000 - $300,000.

三角眼,長角。其品相之精美,無同版別足望其項背。PCGS 中僅六枚獲評 MS,此枚更是最高分的孤品。略帶霜面,光澤躍動,光可鑑人。無任何接觸痕跡,且光澤連續,正面的頂端及反面的環形有一絲日落色包漿,襯托圖文更顯唯美。如此完美的保存狀態,成為本次拍賣的亮點之一亦名副其實,珍罕藏品所創下的成交價更是令人期待,可能數年後仍被傳頌。
