CHINA - Emperor Zai Tian
|
CHINA - Emperor Zai Tian, Guang Xu Reign (1875-1908) AR 1 Dollar, no date (1901-1908). Obv.: Imperial dragon facing, flanked by rosettes; SZECHUEN PROVINCE - 7 MACE AND 2 CANDAREENS. Rev.: Chinese inscriptions, giving Emperor's name, etc.
NOTICE - The upside-down A in place of the "V" in PROVINCE! This is a known error. While here are MANY fakes, this one is authentic, although a bit damaged. It was mounted in a pewter "dragon plate", and the rim was partially filed to accommodate the plate. I have left a bit of the pewter. It was brought back by a serviceman after World War II. Reference: Y #238.1
