The Turtle ship series of 5 won coins is a winner. Got my hands on a beautiful 1988. From 1995 -2012, they are quite rare!! I suspect that in time...
Okay, I get it. But the North Vietnamese (I will always see a North/South division) coins are usually so poorly struck that few collectors are...
Ahh, the term is "stylobate", the "deck" which the columns are standing upon, or rather that upon which their plinth's are resting.
On the 1948, it says "5 steps". They must be counting the porch top (I forget its technical term), as a step. Otherwise I see only 4 steps which...
