LAOS. 20000 Kip, 1971. PCGS PROOF-68 Deep Cameo Gold Shield.
Fr-3; KM-13. Struck to celebrate the coronation of King Savang Vatthana. Superbly preserved, this example displays minimal handling with a few natural frosting flecks appearing in the king's portrait that likely prevented a finer grade. It's also interesting to note that this piece must have been struck towards the end of the production run, as several of the squares that appear in the ornamental ring that surrounds the king's bust have faded from the design due to repeated polishing of the dies.
From the Pinnacle Collection.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2000.00
