Description

Sumatra. Singapore Merchants copper Proof Keping Token AH 1247 (1831) PR65 Brown NGC, Soho mint, KM-Tn3 (unlisted in Proof), Prid-20A. Fighting Cock Series. A stunning example of this interesting token series produced by Singaporean Merchants of the day, usually struck in a somewhat crude manner but this Proof strike is anything but. Classic mahogany color decorates flashy surfaces that have obviously been well-preserved and display gloriously as such. Proof specimens of this type rarely surface at auction, this Gem marks an important opportunity for collectors.
