    My guess was AU50 before looking that the picture's properties. But, I think the AU53 grade would fit.

    My head says 58. My gut says 63.

    Is that Sigourney Weaver on the obverse?


    I know absolutely zero about Nam coinage, but it's easy to tell what this one graded. image

    I wonder if the engraver went cross-eyed doing the dentils. image

    Nice double struck piece on both sides. Seems to be to much wear on the dragons back for Au. Sharp xf IMHO.

    I have a similar coins in my collection rated as XF and yours is much nicer, I think.
    I would say a strong AU.

    I don't know anything about Annam stuff either but I am impressed! Is it struck or cast? It looks like there is some tripling, let alone doubling, in some areas. What is the "15" below the dragon? Or is it 50?

    Great looking coin and pictures. Don't know the series.

    I'm finding it hard to decide if that's wear or filled die or what's going on on the dragons left arm.
    I think I'll go with it being more of a die or strike issue and I think it will be a type of coin struck on poor planchets so I'll take a pot shot at AU55?

    I could be miles out though.

    Super coin. Annam coins as nice as yours are very difficult to locate.
