THAILAND PATTERNS. 4 Baht Struck in Copper with Plain Edge & Medal Alignment, ND (1868). Rama V, Phra Maha Chulalonkorn (1868-1910). NGC PROOF-58 BN.
40.5 gms. KM-Pn32; cf.K&M-pl. F32. White elephant within nine-bladed Chakra, encircled by thirty-two stars denoting denomination; Reverse: Royal seal of King Rama V, a Thai coronet flanked by two umbrellas. EXTREMELY RARE. Sharply struck with wear limited to the very highest points of the design. Fully original surfaces, with predominantly even brown tone concealing what little wear there is on the piece. Sharp flawless rims and without any abrasions aside from a few marks in the reverse fields. A speckling of darker tone on the reverse that lends credibility to the never-cleaned status of this rare pattern. NGC PROOF-58 BN.
Estimate: $15000.00- $20000.00
