Lot 2953

Description

China, collector copies, silver one dollar (cf.K-21, W-557 - 1889 ND), (26.78g) (39.79mm). The dragon appears to have been struck with the same hub that was used for the original coin, as it features the same tiny dot on the dorsal spine just under the cloud at 3 o'clock, however, there are small differences in the characters and rosettes and small differences on the obverse, e.g. the bottom of the "2" is flat and not curved, toned nearly uncirculated.
