 The first specimen was lot 50011 in Stack's Bowers Hong Kong auction (Hong Kong, April 2021), where it sold for $552,000.  The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"The Finest Certified "Flying Dragon" Dollar. [[China|CHINA]]. Dollar, ND (1916). PCGS MS-68 Gold Shield. Struck for the inauguration of Hung Hsien (Yuan Shih-kai) as emperor, this popular type features Yuan in full military attire along with a tall plumed shako on the obverse, while the reverse displays an elegant--and rather popular--imperial flying dragon. Seemingly flawless and entirely impeccable, this majestic specimen is clearly destined for the ultimate in advanced Chinese cabinets and offers wholly unrivaled quality, as it is the sole finest example certified across both major services. Clearly superior to small handful of issues at the MS-67 level, such as a PCGS MS-67 that realized a total of $114,000 in our October 2020 Hong Kong auction (lot 41378). An EXCESSIVELY RARE offering that will most assuredly generate tremendous enthusiasm and interest, and one for which the sky truly is the limit."</blockquote> The second specimen was lot 52321 in Stack's Bowers Hong Kong auction (Hong Kong, April 2021), where it sold for $504,000. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"The Finest Certified "Flying Dragon" Dollar. [[China|CHINA]]. Dollar, ND (1916). PCGS MS-68 Gold Shield.
