ANNAM. Fantasy Silver 7 Tien, "Year 15" (ca. 20th Century). In the Name of Minh Mang. NGC MS-63.
cf. KM-195 (original); cf. Sch-183 (same). This piece is somewhat of a mysterious type, being certified by NGC as a "Fantasy Imitative" type and is the only one listed on the NGC population report. Imitating the 7 Tien of 1834, this piece generally follows in the style of type, though the fabric and strike characteristics are quite different from the originals of the type. Minted at an unknown location and time, we leave open the possibility that this piece was produced at a much later date than originals of the type.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
