CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar (7 Mace 2 Candareens), Year 17 (1928). NGC EF-45. L&M-609; K-757; KM-Y-428; WS-1109. Variety with two grass blades. This always popular type was struck to commemorate the completion of Kweichow Provincial Highway which, according to Kann, was the first motor car road in the province. Allegedly featuring the personal vehicle of Governor Chow Hsi-chien (Zhou Xicheng), this piece has passed into numismatic lore on account of the unique design. The extremely popular type, this Auto Dollar displays a gunmetal gray hue with some dabs of deep rusty red color. Light-to-moderate circulation is present on the car, with this melding rather well with the typical strike weakness that is observed in that area. All in all, an attractive and handsome example of this exceedingly demanded type, ensuring that one lucky bidder will drive this auto off the lot and into their premium collection.
