Softly Toned "Portrait" DollarRepublic Tuan Chi-jui Dollar ND (1924) MS62 NGC, Tientsin mint, L&M-865, Kann-683, WS-0107. Commemorating Tuan Chi-jui's taking office as the provisional Chief Executive of the Republic of China while abolishing the presidency, and the "peaceful unification" of China. A popular rendition from the coveted portrait series of Dollars during the early 20th century Republican era, here featuring a sharp portrait of Tuan Chi-jui decorated with a mottled lavender tone. Hardly a trace of weakness is detected through the raised features, resulting in near-medallic devices that project boldly towards the viewer. Seldom do we encounter a near-Choice example of this type with as much eye appeal, which will certainly contribute to an elevated bidder response.
