[QUOTE="manymore, post: 1351555, member: 17118"]I was curious as to the dating of this coin so I did a little research. According to [URL="http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/8144558.html"]this Chinese article[/URL], the Yunnan branch mint began making the coins in August, 1917. However, the "Concise Coin Dictionary" (简明钱币辞典) gives the date of the coin as 1918. The Heritage Auction, which Numismat refers to, gives the date as 1917 but the NGC slab identifies the coin as L&M-863. "L&M" is the "Illustrated Catalogue of Chinese Gold & Silver Coins" edited by Lin and Ma ("L&M"). Despite the [URL="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=3017&lotNo=27647"]1917 date on the slab[/URL], the Sixth Edition of L&M gives the date of this coin (#863) as 1919. So as you can see, there does not seem to be a definitive answer as to when the coin was minted. Gary[/QUOTE]
