Annam
Thieu Tri 5 Tien ND (1841-1847) MS63 NGC, KM285, Schr-255. 18.89gm. The sole finest of this famed "five bats" issue graded by NGC. A coveted Annamese type where bats were used to symbolize the word "Phuc" (happiness), which has a similar phoneme to the sound made by the depicted animals. This richly-toned, Choice piece is extremely eye appealing. Ample mint bloom underlies the ancient patina, composed by golden-cobalt shades amidst the ash composition. Undeniably sharp, it's fair to say it will be difficult to top this pristine example, as only a single PCGS MS64 ranks higher.
