PCGS MS-63.KM-457.2; Sch-360; Thierry-V263/V264 (gold); Thierry Supplement-Not listed; T.Z.S.L.-pg. 292 # 100; Dav-133. Weight: 18.14 gms. Variety with clouds in center vertically. Obverse: Ngu Phuc, two bats in clouds above and three bats in clouds below; Reverse: Tu Duc Thong Bao. The single finest certified example on either the NGC or PCGS population reports, none finer. This beautifully preserved ever popular type exhibits boldly struck devices with relatively smooth satiny surfaces that display attractive mottled patina. The obverse offers a pleasing light gray coloration with areas of slate on the high points, while the reverse shows more slate in the lower fields. This variety appears on the market from time to time, but with less frequency than other varieties of this type and should be considered RARE.From the Nguyen Dynasty Collection.
