Muhammad Imad al-Din V Iskandar gold Proof Off-Metal 2 Lariat AH1319 (1901) MS65 NGC, Heaton mint, cf. KM-Pn2 (strike in silver). An exceptionally gem off-metal striking, featuring deeply toned surfaces and a hint of rainbow brilliance. Well centered on a gorgeous planchet, with only a few minor die cracks. Extremely rare, especially in this state of preservation. In the opinion of this cataloger, this specimen is superior to the Adams/Farouk example which realized a hammer of $12,000 in early 2016. Quite possibly from the Dr. H. W. Coddington collection.
