Anhwei. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 24 (1898) AU55 PCGS, Anking mint, KM-Y45.3, L&M-199, Kann-57, Chang-CH44, WS-1076, Wenchao-708. Variety with ASTC letters. An admirable representative of this short-lived type from a province whose coinage is scarce in any condition and frequently encountered cleaned, heavily worn, or chopmarked. Nearly uniform patination lends cohesion to surfaces showing modest, honest circulation and the characteristic striking weaknesses of the Anking mint. Anecdotally, Wenchao suggests that the letters, commonly read A-S-T-C, signify "Tatsing Anhwei Silver Coin," or "Anhwei Silver Coin of the Great Qing."
