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: $1000.00- $2000.00

安南明命通寶七錢。臆造幣。
此枚富神秘感，NGC將之分類為"臆造仿製版"，亦是唯一經NGC評鑑的。仿製1834年的七錢，此枚的設計與之相同，唯材質及鑄打風格與原來的不盡相同。對於鑄造地點及年份不詳，有可能此枚的鑄造遠較原來的年份遲。
