CHINA. Yunnan. Tael, ND (1943-44). Hanoi Mint. NGC MS-62.
L&M-435; K-939; KM-A3; WS-0704; Lec-325. Variety with small stag's head. Nearing the pinnacle of beauty for these oft-crude types, this wonderful Mint State specimen displays a soft yet vibrant luster and a near compete sheen on the surfaces. A touch of golden highlighting is visible throughout, with no distracting marks to bother the luster. A flan flaw near one o'clock on the reverse is the only detraction, and the likely genesis for the grade assigned. Certain to be highly coveted on account of the crossover appeal between Chinese and French Indo-Chinese collectors.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
