The first specimen was lot 1581 in Ponterio sale 173 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $999. The catalog description[1] noted, "NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES. Sumatra. East India Company. 4 Keping, 1804. Thick flan. Very attractive. NGC PROOF-65 BN. From the Sanjay Gandhi Collection." The second specimen was lot 52427 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Pittsburgh, PA, August 2023), where it sold for $7,800. The catalog description[2] noted, "MALAYA. British East India Company. Gilt Copper 4 Kepings, AH 1219/1804. Birmingham (Soho) Mint. NGC PROOF-65 Cameo. The sole finest Gilt Proof certified by NGC, this wonderful specimen delivers a rich luster and sharp cameo contrast. A piece that delivers an intensity of eye appeal, and one for which we expect much competition." The British East India Company held trading stations on the island of Sumatra for decades prior to the Napoleonic Wars.
