Thieu Tri 3 Tien ND (1841-1847) MS62 NGC, KM274, Schr-239, S&H-4.4.2.1 (3-1/2 Tien). 13.14gm. An occurrence that is readily welcomed by collectors of the Annamese series: a high-quality issue with ample eye appeal that further doubles as the single finest yet certified. Only the second example of this conditionally challenging issue that we have offered, the coin at hand presents a fine aged metallic patina over the surfaces that nicely complements a crisp finish to the details that is not often seen. Some minor scattered scratches near the characters can be detected with the aid of magnification, though these appear commensurate with the grade. Simply a great rarity in this quality, and one sure to come highly demanded.
