Abdul Hamid II gold 500 Qirsh (5 Pounds) AH1293//1 MS61 NGC, Misr (Cairo) mint, KM286, Fr-17. A superb example of this commanding type that features the simplistic yet beautiful toughra obverse motif with floral accents to the right. The surfaces are bright, emanating with choice reflectivity and unobtrusive hairlines throughout, while the raised elements are unapologetically bold for the issue. Scarce in both availability and condition, this present offering decidedly captivates the eye and is among only two other certified examples in this preferred quality.
Estimate: 9000-12000 USD
