Annam
Tu Duc gold 4 Tien ND (1848-1883) AU Details (Holed) NGC, KM533, Schr-409, S&H-3.11.1.1. 14.35gm. "The Four Perfections" (Tu my, the sun, moon, planets, and stars) type. A notoriously appealing type produced for presentation, with the fact that this piece has been holed twice, at 12 and 6 o'clock, coming as hardly surprising, given that so many would have been used for personal adornment. Quite handsome on the whole, with deeply impressed features silhouetted by red-gold tone. We would note that in spite of the Garrett provenance provided on the holder and in past sales listings, we have been able to locate no example of this coin in NFA and Bank Leu's catalogs of Garrett's collection.
Ex. Heritage Auction #3050 (December 2016, Lot 37012)
