Chekiang. Kuang-hsü Specimen Pattern 20 Cents ND (1902) SP68 PCGS, Heaton mint, KM-Pn6, L&M-279, Kann-121I, Chang Foundation-68 (this coin), WS-1016. Of unfathomable quality, especially for such a rare emission that has seen market appearance of only three of the estimated 6-8 survivors in the last two decades. Commissioned by Chekiang and ultimately unadopted, issues within this elusive Pattern series are widely celebrated by collectors due to their incredibly limited mintages. Apart from its absolute rarity, the offering at hand relays both a conditional and aesthetic superiority to those we've located, even besting the Norman Jacobs SP67. Die polish abounds the fields, laying a pondlike backdrop to elevate the frosted dragon and providing it with a cameo-like appearance. The obverse (reverse as holdered) astounds with its autumnal hues likely the result of long-term cabinet storage. The sole finest of six certified, and coupled with its impressive pedigree and advanced eye appeal, expect this lot to be among the auction's most pursued minors. Ex.
