拍品描述： 宣统三年大清银币壹圆。反龙样币。天津造币厂。珍稀度： ★★★。 II型。外侧叶脉凸起。此枚为大清样币系列画下句点。龙图与最终的流通版（L&M-36/37）相反。出彩且令人惊叹的一枚，高评举世寥寥无几。字面钢灰色包浆，图文间一丝香槟色点缀，通体车轮十字旋光熠熠。龙面透现琥珀光泽，栩栩如生，仿佛要从坯饼腾起，扣人心弦。与我司于2023年香港秋拍中以编号30161登场的同版PCGS SP62相比，品相更为出类拔萃，当时的成交价为432,000美元。(t) CHINA. Silver Reversed Dragon Dollar Pattern, Year 3 (1911). Tientsin Mint. Hsuan-tung (Xuantong [Puyi]). PCGS SPECIMEN-63.L&M-31; K-225; KM-Pn308; WS-0042A; Wenchao-115 (rarity: ★★★). Type II; variety with raised veins in outer leaves. Undoubtedly one of the titans of the vintage Chinese series, with a striking, instantly recognizable designs--chief among those reasons is the fact that it marks the end of the line with respect to Ching patterns, and features a reversed dragon that coils in an array opposite to that encountered on the eventual business strikes (L&M-36/37) of Hsuan-tungs final year. A provocative and stunningly breathtaking <strong>RARITY</strong> of immense proportions, especially in such a lofty, highly elevated state of preservation as is the case here. The fields of the characters side display glistening steely gray hues, almost as though it was minted only recently, with a tinge of champagne toning surrounding the devices and characters, and an inordinate degree of shimming luster cartwheeling throughout. Meanwhile, the dragon side is fully awash in a burnished amber glow, enlivening all aspects of the surfaces, and seemingly causing the dragon to leap from the planchet, seizing the attention of all who gaze upon it. Easily a more attractive and tantalizingly appealing example than a PCGS SPECIMEN-62 that realized a total of $432,000 in our October 2023 Hong Kong auction (Lot # 30161).
