Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Abdul Hamid II gold 500 Qirsh (5 Pounds) AH 1293 Year 1 (1876/7) MS61 NGC, Misr mint (in Egypt), KM286, Pere-973. The largest, and perhaps most coveted issue of late Ottoman Egypt, this supremely hefty inaugural year exhibits a perfectly crisp and slightly reflective strike. A similar example, also certified MS61 by NGC, achieved $15,275 in our April 2016 CICF Auction #3046 (Lot 29815) and we expect to see the present specimen achieve a similar, if not higher, level of distinction.
