Barely brushed in the fields. With a golden patina. Superb.
Mitchiner (p.392) notes that Gabriel Quiroga, visiting the Cambodian court in 1595, noted that "this kingdom has its own gold and silver coinage on which is inscribed a rooster". The present example seems stylistically consistent with the later series, and its rarity suggests that it may have been a presentation or another special issue.
