- Argent and Near-Mint "Mausoleum" Dollar CHINA. Silver "Mausoleum" Dollar Pattern, Year 16 (1927). Nanking Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-58. L&M-85; K-609; WS-0130; Wenchao-898 (rarity: ★★★); Sun-III-4-01. Engraved by Richard Placht at the Vienna Mint. Mintage: 480. A gloriously lustrous example of the RARE "Mausoleum Dollar" type, the present specimen yields an abundance of details that escape wearing of any note. The surfaces radiate light in a frenetic display, and this radiance is largely unbroken by mark, with a limited amount of friction on the reverse. A dramatic example of this always demanded Dollar, one that has very few faults, and many merits which will impel it forward to a strong showing at auction. This heavily demanded type is ceaselessly desirable on account of the minuscule mintage and elegant design. Despite the wonderful engraving work undertaken by the Austrian engraver, this piece was destined to fail on account of its design elements. Placht had never seen the mausoleum in question on the reverse, and may have never even seen a Chinese person, making his rendering of Sun Yat-sen rather distinct from the actual appearance the latter. Kann reports a Chinese Mint official's comment that the portrait bore a much stronger resemblance to German military leader-turned-president, Paul von Hindenburg instead. Estimate: $40,000 - $80,000.
