B99.1+      Gia Long Thong Bao 1802-19     Large characters. Large flan, 26m KM169, C61.1, T214 (99.1, .2) B99.3          —     Medium chars. Rectangle-head Thong. KM169a.1v, C61.2, T213v, T225v ; B99.3A          —         —  — Larger chars., especially Thong & Bao B99.A4          —     Small chars. Angle-head Thong (as 99.4). Reverse: plain. Specimens chosen for bold rev. rims,as the "dimple" is often very weak. B99.A4p          —         —  —  — Points on inner rims (mint error) B99.A4a          —         —  —  — Specimens with little or no rev. rim. Error or deliberate? T215 B99.4          —         —  — Reverse: Dot rt., well away from rim. (May be an unintended variant of 99.5) C61.3, T214 ; ; B99.6          —         —  —  — Bad calligraphy, just as Barker specimen. Robust coin, but possibly unofficial.

Robust coin.     —     Note: The following coins are all thin, suggesting a private (possibly licensed) mint. The dots in non-standard positions rev. may be a way of keeping track of licensees, or could just be sloppy rotation of reverse masters in production. B99.5e          —         —  — Reverse: Dot rt., plus dot below, slightly off-center. Probably an error. B99.12a          —         —  — Reverse: Dot left, large & far from rim.

Wide Bao. Large Thong head. 21-22m ; ;     —     B99.8A              —  — Ring obv., sometimes faintly rev. also. Tall, narrow Bao. 23m ;
