Description

Minh Mang gold 7 Tien Year 15 (1834) XF Details (Rim Damage, Cleaned) NGC,  KM228, Sch-206, S&H-Unl. A truly imposing rendition of this very elusive type, with this being not only the single certified example, but also the only representative to cross the auction block several times in the past 12 years. Despite the noted edge dings at 1 and 7 o'clock respectively, the coin on the whole appears extremely handsome for the grade, evidence of past cleaning incredibly light save for some minor scratches to the right of the Minh character, the surfaces softly luminous and overlaid by a marvelous red-gold tone that speaks to the piece's age and long time careful storage. A covetable opportunity to acquire one of probably just a handful of surviving specimens before it disappears once again.
Ex. Stack's Bowers Hong Kong Auction (19 August 2012, Lot 50359); Heritage ANA Auction #3010 (16 August 2010, lot 20168); Baldwin's Hong Kong Auction #42 (30 August 2007, lot 726).

明命通寶十五年（1834）七錢金幣。XF Details (Rim Damage, Cleaned) NGC。 極爲稀少的幣種。此枚不但是唯一的評級例子，也是在過去12年内唯一在拍賣會上出現的例子。一點及七點方向有細小損傷，但就評分而言整體外觀相當不錯。過去的清洗痕跡輕微，只在「明」字右邊有刮痕。幣面散發輕柔光芒，上覆金紅色包漿，反映此枚長久以來被小心保護。此幣種的倖存品不出數枚，遇上其中之一的機會千載難逢，萬勿錯過。
