Silver Long Whisker Dragon Dollar Pattern, Year 3 (1911). Tientsin Mint. Hsuan-tung (Xuantong [Puyi]). NGC Specimen. AU Details--Chopmarked.L&M-28; K-223A; KM-Pn305; WS-0040; Chang-CH26; Wenchao-106 (rarity: ★★★). Variety with rounded petals and normal characters. Undoubtedly among the pantheon of exalted <strong>RARITIES</strong> within the vintage Chinese series, or even 20th century world crowns more broadly, this slightly impaired specimen presents a tremendous opportunity for a type that does not frequently trade. A few scattered chopmarks are present upon the characters side, while some minor handling, breaks to the lustrous brilliance, and stray friction marks are also noted. Nevertheless, it displays the iconic long whiskered dragon in all of the majestic glory imbued upon it by its equally celebrated engraver, Luigi Giorgi. For those seeking an example at a less-than-stratospheric level, the present offering no doubt is one of the best opportunities that one will likely ever encounter.
