There is an abundant selection of numismatic highlights in our upcoming fall Hong Kong auction, which spans the end of September and the beginning of October. One area in which this fact is very apparent is an offering of not just one, but two of the dazzling "Pavilion Dollars" in gold. Frequent readers of our blogs may recall a post from last fall’s sale in which we presented a number of these fascinating types in silver, while also shedding light upon their origin and likely purpose. While a number of silver specimens also features in this fall’s sale, it is two examples in gold—one with a lower reverse legend, and one without—that immediately grab one’s attention.
Both estimated at $500,000—$750,000, these exceedingly dazzling examples are at the cusp of Gem status, graded PCGS SPECIMEN-64. Their immense rarity cannot be understated – this sale will present an extremely unusual opportunity to acquire each type in this highly sought-after off-metal striking. For the cabinet of the most advanced connoisseur, this pair will not disappoint and the chance to obtain both types in the same sale is unlikely to be repeated anytime soon.
