Annam
Tu Duc gold 5 Tien ND (1848-1883) AU58 NGC, KM538, Schr-408, S&H-3.3.1.3. 17.37gm. Extremely rare and imposing to say the least, with markedly little of the usual doubling of the characters seen on so many of the Annamese presentation issues of the period. Struck from the same dies as the silver 5 Tien, this impressively pedigreed specimen is one of just a small handful that have appeared on the market in recent years and is likely the sole certified example, marking it as a clear target for the seasoned collector of early Vietnamese coinage.
Ex. Editions V. Gadoury Auction (December 2017, Lot 1380); Numismatica Genevensis Auction 8 (November 2014, Lot 328); Numismatica Genevensis Auction 7 (November 2012, Lot 1062); Heritage Auction #3016 (January 2012, Lot 23275); King Farouk Collection (Sotheby's, 1954, Lot 1309)
