THAILAND. Uniface Lead Baht Incomplete Die Trial Strike, ND (ca. 1876-1910). Rama V. EXTREMELY FINE.
KM-Unlisted. This highly interesting piece appears to be of the adopted design, but upon closer inspection is slightly different. The stops in the legend are plain periods rather than the normally encountered six-petaled florets indicating that the die was incomplete at the time of striking. The surfaces exhibit light signs of handling with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices adding to its originality. Seldom do new discoveries from this series appear in the marketplace and as such should be considered VERY RARE and desirable. A piece that is destined for an advanced collection of struck Thai numismatics.
