The Frank S. Robinson personal collection of Vietnamese cash coins will be sold in an auction closing March 17. The collection, assembled over nearly half a century, comprises 383 different coins, including many rare and choice pieces. They will be offered individually, with an option to bid for the entire collection.
Vietnamese square-holed cash coinage began in the Tenth Century and ended in the 1926-45 reign of Emperor Bao Dai — the world’s last cast cash coinage.
The sale, with every coin photographed, will be found at www.fsrcoin.com/Vietnamcash.html.
The website (which will remain accessible after the sale ends) should also serve as a useful catalog of Vietnam cash coins. It cross references several other published works (Schjöth, Toda, Barker, Novak, Craig/Krause, and Miura Gosen).
