Highly Charming Near-Mint Chihli "Dragon Dollar" (t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 23 (1897). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58. L&M-444; cf. K-186; KM-Y-65.1; WS-0611. Variety with triangle-eyed dragon with long horns. Those knowledgeable with the series will immediately be struck be the attractive nature of this example which, unlike so many others, is wholesome and problem-free. Nicely struck overall, with just a small touch of striking weakness on the head of the dragon that meshes well with the limited rub. Patches of mint luster remain in the protected areas of the design, with no excessive pockmarking or hits noticed. As a premium example of the ever-popular type, the present piece is certain to command much attention on account of its state of preservation. Estimate: $30,000 - $40,000.
