This specimen was lot 72417 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, October 2020), where it sold for $3,360. The catalog description[1] noted, "MYANMAR. 5 Mu, 1991. NGC MS-66. A SCARCE type, featuring a farmer plowing his fields with oxen. A brilliant and flashy Gem quality coin with reflective fields." This crudely made NCLT remains enigmatic. The lettering is sharp but the central design is clumsy, suggesting a private mint.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specifications: 8.16 g, 0.999 fine gold.
Catalog reference: Fr-Unlisted; KM-Unlisted.
