  We report the first measurement of the flux-averaged cross section for
charged current coherent $\pi^{+}$ production on carbon for neutrino energies
less than 1.5 GeV to a restricted final state phase space region in the T2K
near detector, ND280. Comparisons are made with predictions from the
Rein-Sehgal coherent production model and the model by Alvarez-Ruso {\it et
al.}, the latter representing the first implementation of an instance of the
new class of microscopic coherent models in a neutrino interaction Monte Carlo
event generator. This results contradicts the null results reported by K2K and
SciBooNE in a similar neutrino energy region.
