CHINA. Pattern Dollar Struck in Silver, Year 18 (1929) Struck in Italy at the Rome Mint.L&M-92; Kann-614; KM-Pn97. In 1929 the Chinese Ministry of Finance ordered a new design for the then proposed Dr. Sun Yat Sen Dollar. Patterns were submitted from five of the worlds leading mints: Italy, Japan, England, United States and Austria. This represents the second of the two Italian proposals. Virtually identical to the first proposal, however the Rome Mint Mark (R) and Engravers name (A.MOTTI.INC) have been removed from the dies. Although Mottis initial design was rejected, the obverse design was later modified by John Sinnock, the cheif engraver of the Philadelphia Mint. This protrait served as the base model for what was used to produce the first Dr. Sun Yat Sen Junk Dollars for circulation in 1932. EXTREMELY RARE, and on of the most important patterns in the Junk Dollar series.<br />Lightly cleaned long ago, now showing light tone, otherwise ALMOST UNCIRCULATEDPCGS Genuine; Code: 92, Cleaning.
