光緒二十四年北洋機器局造壹圓銀幣。凸眼龙。虽有清洗，依然散发出诱人光彩。现已重新俊美包浆，主為枪灰色，环形带一丝香檳色。瑕不掩瑜的一枚。CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candereens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details.L&M-449; K-191; KM-Y-65.2; WS-0616. Variety with dragons eyes in relief. Despite the noted cleaning, this impressive early issue from Chihli offers a dazzling allure and great feel. The color has begun to reappear rather handsomely, with some tinges of champagne at the peripheries and an overall gunmetal gray nature. Undoubtedly a specimen for which the minor distraction is simply that and easy to ignore.
