Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Mehmed V Specimen 20 Qirsh AH 1327 Year 4 (1911/12)-H SP67 NGC, Misr mint (in Egypt), KM310. Struck from dies engraved in Birmingham. A piece that simply should not exist, ranking a full four grade points above the next highest example at NGC, and providing one of the most beautiful canvasses to a rainbow of iridescent tones that the present cataloger has ever seen. The outer peripheries bloom with canary yellow and seafoam hues with intense apricot flashes at the centers and subtle sapphires diffused throughout. The best a connoisseur of the series could hope for.
