Barely Handled Kweichow "Auto" Dollar (t) CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar (7 Mace 2 Candareens), Year 17 (1928). NGC AU-50. L&M-609; K-757; KM-Y-428; WS-1109. Variety with two grass blades. This always popular type was struck to commemorate the completion of Kweichow Provincial Highway which, according to Kann, was the first motor car road in the province. Allegedly featuring the personal vehicle of Governor Chow Hsi-chien (Zhou Xicheng), this piece has passed into numismatic lore on account of the unique design. As a lightly handled example, this specimen shows only minor rub on the devices and some occasional contact. Fully argent, this beauty presents just the slightest amount of luster in the most protected areas. Among the most desirable issues in Chinese numismatics, this handsome and RARE Dollar is certain to render the estimates moot. Estimate: $50,000 - $100,000.
