Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Abdul Aziz gold 500 Qirsh (5 Pounds) AH 1277 Year 11 (1870-1871) AU58 NGC, Misr mint (in Egypt), KM265, Fr-10. An immense, gold coin with expansive fields that surround simple, yet stylistic motifs. Boldly struck devices are readily apparent and the surfaces are an excellent shade of harvest gold. While a number of insignificant ticks are present, the overall appeal of this specimen is spectacular. With a modest mintage of just 200 pieces, this is an exceedingly difficult issue to acquire at any level, but especially in this deluxe state of preservation.
