<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris B, post: 24561224, member: 87179&quot;]So, I did something yesterday that I have a bad habit of doing. I was at a coin show and purchased something because I thought it was neat. I like unusual (to me) coins. No prior knowledge of these. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m primarily a world coin guy but the far east is not my strong point.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is labeled as a Vietnam (Annam) AR Lang 1802-1820 KM 179 Photos below are showing all six sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Question #1: Can anyone translate the markings for me</p><p><br /></p><p>Question #2: This piece measures 36.72 grams which is slightly off from what Krause lists it. It is 43x13x7mm. To my eyes the text doesn&#039;t match the photos that I can find online. Is there a chance this is attributed wrong? </p><p><br /></p><p>Question #3: It appears that there are later countermarks applied. Does anyone have any insight into these?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1556065[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1556066[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1556067[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
