Variety with dragons eyes in relief. An absolutely stunning and provocative example that predates the Boxer Rebellion, this nearly-Choice crown remains largely without any toning, save for some subtle almond blushes nearer the peripheries. The strike is quite sharp and impressive, with tantalizing luster cartwheeling across both sides. A <strong>RARE</strong> state of preservation combines with an even <strong>RARER</strong> degree of eye appeal, with the sum of those two aspects no doubt allowing this example to generate great results when crossing the auction block.
