Hsüan-t'ung silver Specimen Pattern "Reversed Dragon" Dollar Year 3 (1911) UNC Details (Cleaned) PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Pn308, L&M-31, Kann-225, WS-0042A, Wenchao-115 (rarity 3 stars), Chang Foundation-37. Reversed dragon. Type II variety with raised veins on leaves. One of a handful of incredibly popular Pattern Dollars struck in the final year of the Qing dynasty, and while considered more "common" than the "Long-Whiskered Dragon" issues, this type appears at market far less frequently. An enticing design and certainly one of the more recognizable Patterns, this piece relays a pleasing glossy finish that, despite the noted cleaning, contributes to a covetable aesthetic character embellished by lavender tone throughout. Exceedingly sharp as one expects from the series, and sure to entice the ardent collector of this famed series. From the Peh Family Collection HID07901242017 www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
