Watch List notes:

TRIPOLI: Mahmud II, 1808-1839, BI 30 para (9.19g), Tarabulus Gharb, AH1223 year 20, KM-179? UBK-118.05, sprig upper right and flower lower left on obverse, regnal year atop reverse, nice strike, VF, RRR, ex Ken Bovenkamp collection, ex our Auction 14, Lot 473. The attribution by UBK is clearly correct, but the list in KM is confusing. It is KM type A, as in the illustration of type KM-176 (but without the outer border around the toughra), whereas their description for KM-179 states type E, which does not include the toughra. Further research essential!

Estimate: 300- 400 USD
