Stunning and Majestically Rare Mace (t) CHINA. Sinkiang. Mace (Miscal), AH 1352 (1933/4). Kashgar Mint. NGC MS-63. L&M-775A; K-Unlisted; KM-Y-E39; WS-Unlisted; Wenchao-1014 (rarity: ★★★★); Xinjiang-572. Variety with 8-pointed star. There are RARITIES, and then there are coins that are so infrequently encountered as to excite even the most seasoned of numismatists. The example offered in this lot certainly belongs in the later camp. It is unclear how many of these specimens exist, though it is clear that there exists an 8 and 9 pointed star variety. This example is the only certified example by NGC, though they have certified a 9-pointed star in a details holder. Never circulated, this example displays a precision of strike and quality control that is seldom encountered for this period in Sinkiang coinage. The quality of production and low survival rate implicates limited quantities, and perhaps one that was saved from the moment at which it came from the press. Beautiful details are resolutely applied, and this elegant nature can be seen in the Turki script and crescent moon. Beautiful luster flashes and dances, and is wholly unbroken by any contact. Among the most desirable and least encountered examples of the provincial coinage types, and one that is certain to evoke much desirousness and contention when offered. Estimate: $50,000 - $100,000.
