民国十七年贵州省政府造壹圆银币。汽车币。两叶草。 享誉盛名的汽车币,每每登场即引来全场瞩目,热衰程度历久不衰。薄彩覆盖币面,原光华丽夺目。磨损不多,车门弱打为典型特徵。底板轻微接触痕迹,币面不见太多留痕。系出名家的存世之作,且品相出类拔萃,预期藏家将会掀起一场龙争虎斗。贵州省公路开通纪念,据耿爱德所説是该省第一条汽车道路。传言以周西成私人座驾为设计,因较独特而在钱币界声名大噪。CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar (7 Mace 2 Candareens), Year 17 (1928). NGC AU-55.L&M-609; K-757; KM-Y-428; WS-1109. Variety with two grass blades. A coin that has a fame renowned, this Auto Dollar commands all attention and stands as a spectacular example of the type, set apart from nearly every other example. Soft pastel toning adheres to the surfaces still rich with a mint glossiness. Very little technical wear is seen, with the normal strike weakness seen on the door of the car. Slightly contacted in the fields, the surfaces are largely free of ugly scaring or strafing. A piece that combines lofty beauty with a tremendous pedigree, we envision no shortage of willing bidders seeking to own this Auto for their personal fleet of coins.<em>This always popular type was struck to commemorate the completion of Kweichow Provincial Highway which, according to Kann, was the first motor car road in the province. Allegedly featuring the personal vehicle of Governor Chow Hsi-chien (Zhou Xicheng), this piece has passed into numismatic lore on account of the unique design.</em>From the Kenneth Bressett CollectionEx: Newton/Bressett Collection.
