- "Pavilion" Dollar with Plain Edge and No Bottom Legend CHINA. Silver Medallic Dollar, Year 10 (1921). Tientsin Mint. PCGS Genuine--Stained, Unc Details. L&M-957; K-676a; WS-0103. Variety with plain edge and without legend at bottom of reverse. This example of the popular and RARE"Pavillion" Dollar provides an inconsistent deep color on the surfaces that likely accounts for the grade assigned. Very little evidence of contact or hairlines exists on this piece, implying that it was immensely treasured by its previous owners. Some light luster remains, which occasionally peaks out in a charming and beautiful display. Despite being a details coin, it is a completely wholesome representative of the type. 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). Initially designed with a blank field below the pavilion for recipients' names to be engraved, the design was altered to contain the three struck characters instead, as the engraving proved difficult on the initial batch. Estimate: $20,000 - $40,000. Provenance: From the Kairos Collection. To view all items from the Kairos Collection, click here. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
