(t) CHINA. Meng Chiang. Chiao, KK 738 (1943). PCGS MS-63. KM-Pn3. Intended for used in the inner Mongolia area, this RARE pattern issue is not often encountered. An exceptionally Choice piece feature the facing head of the ram with radian surfaces. A type, along with the single Fen and Chiao of similar style, with limited and contradictory evidence regarding its origin and manufacture. Called both a pattern and unreleased circulation strike, these issues show the hallmarks of refined minting, far more advanced than contemporaneous late-war issues in occupied Northern China, with the 1945 Manchukuo cardboard and porcelain minors serving as a logical contrast. Schwan and Bowling in their book World War Two Remembered, take the position that these were types that never reached circulation, implying their non-pattern status (pg. 693). Given their numbers on the population reports, along with similarities to other Japanese Occupation coinage, this position seems most coherent when all the evidence is considered. Estimate: $1,500 - $3,000.
