ANNAM. Gold 4 Tien, ND (1848-83). Tu Duc. NGC Unc Details--Obverse Tooled.
Fr-39; KM-355; Sch-409.1. A RARE type, this example maintains great vibrancy in the fields with lovely orange-gold accents around the designs on both sides. While not immediately visible, and not uncommon in the least on these issues, scattered instances of tooling do appear on both sides, with the most mention-worthy instance being around the clouds on the obverse. Despite its imperfections however, a very attractive coin, which belongs in a highly advanced collection of these crudely produced, highly stylized issues.
Estimate: $25000.00- $30000.00
