Minh Mang. PCGS Genuine--Damage, AU Details.KM-195; Sch-183; Thierry-V82 (different dies); Thierry Supplement-403 (different dies); T.Z.S.L.-Not listed; Dav-111. Weight: 26.49 gms. Variety with large characters on reverse. Obverse: Dragon in clouds, date below; Reverse: Minh Mang Thong Bao. This wholesome looking example offers a sharp strike with relatively smooth fields, crisp design features and complete denticles. The surfaces display a pleasing mottled gray tone with light lighter coloration amongst the devices while the exposed areas offer a medium gray patina displaying a slight iridescent sheen. A small natural planchet void is observed between the characters for Mang and Thong, mentioned for accuracy. Close inspection reveals faint evidence of light scratches in the lower right quadrant of the reverse, long since toned over and attractive matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings this handsome example offers a pleasing appearance that is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.From the Nguyen Dynasty Collection.
