Silver Dollar Pattern, ND (1914). Tientsin Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-64.L&M-859; K-642A; KM-Pn28; Hsu-15; Wenchao-856 (rarity: ★★★). Variety with L. GIORGI signature. Undoubtedly one of the titans of the early Republican series, this pattern departs from the regular issue with its addition of the artists signature above the left epaulette of Yuan Shih-kai. Styled in military regalia and with a plumed shako on the top of his head, this design is a stark departure from the abundance of side-profile coinage issued contemporaneously with his effigy. In the case of this near-Gem specimen, the stately iconography is elevated even more through the advanced level of preservation and stunning craftsmanship. <strong>EXTREMELY RARE</strong> this lofty, it displays a very subtle almond-burgundy tone, with some splashes of champagne added in as well. Exceptionally lustrous and radiant, and an offering that should generate shockwaves among those connoisseurs seeking such an elite exemplar.<strong>To view all items from the Nine Dragons Collection, click <a href=https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&limit=96&search=From+the+Nine+Dragons+Collection.&lots_range=upcoming> here.</a></strong>From the Nine Dragons Collection.
