Netherlands East Indies
Indonesia Tael ND (1939-40) AU55 NGC, Bruce-11; Sch-1456. From the R.T. Braakensiek Assaying and Refining Workshops LTD. An attractive and scarce heavyweight piece, softly-struck as it usual but showing little obtrusive wear. Sublime steel-blue toning sits over the lustrous argent fields, the devices and legends emboldened by a vibrant gold patina behind. A seldom-offered type in above-average certification, of high visual appeal and a pleasing example overall.
