Abdul Aziz bronze 20 Para AH1279 (1863) MS62 Brown NGC, KM-Pn12. Showing beautiful, mahogany-brown surfaces and coppery luster that clings to the design elements. Intrigue surrounds this pattern, as there is a rumor that Said Pasha, who authorized this issue, lost his head for including his name on a royal coin. Although rarely offered in the marketplace, as a reference, we last sold a Specimen of this pattern in our 2015 CICF auction and that example hammered at $3600.
Estimate: 1000-1500 USD
