MACAU. 5 Patacas, 1952. NGC MS-66+.
KM-5. Rich viridescent amber and mottled russet are spectacularly illuminated by aggressive cartwheel luster on this tantalizing Gem. Subtle intricacies can be spotted from every angle when rotated, a very pleasurable activity. Circulating issues from Macau do not feature the most exciting design, but one could never tire from examining the natural beauty on this piece.
Estimate: $100 - $150
