Annam
Tu Duc 7 Tien ND (1848-1883) UNC Details (Scratches) NGC, S&H-4.4.1.1, cf. KM468, Schroeder-347C (but with added decoration above dragon's heads). Highly attractive given the assigned grade, with minor scratches appearing around the central hole and between the characters "Tu" and "Thong" on the obverse. Scratches around the inside rim are likely the result of strengthening the appearance of the rim. The level of detail and quality of the strike otherwise proves extremely pleasing, amber tones clinging to the dragons and bold stippling around the obverse characters.
From the Paris Collection
