CHINA. Silver Medallic Dollar, Year 10 (1921). Tientsin Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-55.

Exceptionally Wholesome "Pavilion" Dollar CHINA. Silver Medallic Dollar, Year 10 (1921). Tientsin Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-55. L&M-957; K-676A; WS-0103. Variety with plain edge and without legend at bottom of reverse. Already a popular and highly desired type, this particular version of the RARE "Pavilion Dollar" is even more enticing on account of its plain (as opposed to reeded) edge. Displaying some enticing cabinet toning that mixes gunmetal gray with subtle cabernet, this medallic crown presents just light, even wear across the higher points, allowing all of the design facets, especially upon the intricately engraved reverse, to be in full display. An incredibly popular and desirable type believed to have been a pattern issue, it now appears that these were, in fact, more medallic in nature, and meant to be given out upon the opening of the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC), the facade of which is displayed upon the reverse. Initially designed with a blank field below the pavilion for the intended recipient's name to be engraved, the reverse was altered slightly to contain the characters "紀念幣" between two rosettes, as the engraving proved difficult on the initial batch. Estimate: $50,000 - $80,000. Provenance: From the Liu Mung Wang (汪柳門) Collection. To view all items from the Liu Mung Wang (汪柳門) Collection, click here.
