| Lot description: ANNAM. "National Confidence" 5 Tien, ND (1841-47). Thieu Tri. PCGS MS-62. KM-283; Sch-247; Thierry-V170/V171 (gold); Thierry Supplement-Unlisted; T.Z.S.L.-pg. 285 # 73; Dav-119. Obverse: Facing dragon amongst clouds; Reverse: "Thieu Tri Thong Bao Trieu Dan Lai Chi". The second finest certified of the type on either the NGC or PCGS population reports with only one finer (PCGS MS 64). This highly attractive and beautifully preserved example displays lovely rich cabinet patina with much remaining luster in the protected areas on a nicely produced planchet. The surfaces are smooth displaying a pleasing mottled gray coloration with a slight iridescent sheen featuring more pronounced sunset hues amongst the devices that complements the facing dragon. Clearly this example sat for a prolonged period of time undisturbed and was given great care producing an appearance that is sure to catch the attention of many collectors. The inscription, translated as "The whole nation will be confident", on this type was borrowed from a chapter in the "Tho Kinh", a manuscript of penal laws of the Prince of Lu. This appears to follow the teachings of Confucius who believed in a well-ordered society tied to tradition and the past, but also valued academia and held the view that the country resembled a large family guided by a righteous and just ruler. Confucius believed that the ideal ruler governed by compassion, not force, and would avoid war while tending to the needs of the less fortunate. Though a ruler who failed to set a good example for his subjects, their reign would end in disaster. Estimate: $10000 - $15000 |  |
