Iran
Nasir al-Din Shah 500 Dinars AH1297 (1880) MS64 NGC, Tehran mint, KM894.1. An absolutely phenomenal piece with all-over smokey-gray fields that present an appreciable amount of reflectivity and crisp, silvery devices due to an exacting strike. A small yet impressive selection featuring the emblematic lion of Persia, this date/denomination is seldom available in the marketplace, which only seems to add to its scarcity.
Estimate: 800-1000 USD
