Tu Duc 5 Tien ND (1848-1883) UNC Details (Graffiti) NGC, KM456.2, Sch-349. A notably difficult type to acquire outside of low grades, particularly when found in the uncirculated level, the engaging obverse portrayal of a dragon in the clouds studded with prominent die polish lines. While unfortunate, the graffiti does surprisingly little to blemish what is otherwise a truly outstanding representative.
