Annam
Tu Duc 7 Tien ND (1848-1883) MS62 NGC, S&H-4.4.1.1, cf. KM468, Schroeder-347C (but with added decoration above dragon's heads). An excessively difficult type to locate, both as a denomination and in such a superb state of preservation--the piece remarkably free of the punctures so often associated with these "presentation" coins sewn onto the garments of the court elite. The fields are wonderfully bright and silvery, replete with traces of mint luster and prominent die polish lines. The nicest example we have encountered.
