The seal used by King Minh Mang (1791-1841) drew great attention when it was first put up for auction on October 31.
But then Millon put it off to November 10 before again rescheduling it.
According to the French auction house, the square seal is 10.4 centimeters high and its handle is in the form of a coiled dragon with a raised head.
It expects it to go for 2-3 million euros (US$1.98 – 2.97 million).
Vietnam’s Department of Cultural Heritage has confirmed the seal is authentic. It said Millon deferred the auction to give the Vietnamese government a chance to buy it directly if possible.
It also called on individuals and organizations to join the auction, buy the seal and bring it home.
