Ahmad Shah gold 5 Toman AH 1334 (1915) MS64 NGC, KM1075, Rabino-83. 14.21gm. A prized selection in all regards, and one that boasts its rarity in many ways. The planchet itself is impressively preserved, showing off brilliant luster that immediately surrounds the raised elements in a warm, golden glow, while a bold strike has produced a full sun face and crisp detail throughout the majority of the peripheral details. The usual areas of softness atop the lion motif and corresponding reverse calligraphic text remain minimal on this issue that features a recut "4" over "2" over "1". Rarely encountered and likely to remain unchallenged in this near-pristine certified format, worthy of substantial interest from the bidding community as such.
