CHINA. Fengtien. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). Fengtien Arsenal Mint. PCGS AU-58.L&M-471; K-244b; KM-Y-87; WS-0583. Variety with narrow-mouthed dragon and pointed "one" character. Featuring the highly characteristic dragon design from Fengtien, this exceptionally enticing example barely exhibits any signs of handling or wear, with a great deal of original brilliance and luster remaining in the fields. Meanwhile, the palette of the dragon side is rather charming, offering a melange of cobalt and deep burgundy. The characters side instead presents some softer hues, with the steely gray tones delicately dancing with areas of golden-olive. Altogether, an enchanting and wonderfully wholesome example of the type.Ex: Lester Merkin (12/1973) Lot # 233.
