Zanzibar
Sultan Barghash bin Said gold 5 Riyals AH 1299 (1882) MS63 NGC, KM6. An outstanding rarity of the African numismatic series, auction record showing just two examples sold within the last two decades; the most recent of these was graded MS62 and realized nearly $50,000 hammer in September 2014. Conservative even for its choice grade, boldly struck and with rich mint luster in abundance across its sharp surfaces, hardly a scratch nor contact mark distract from its supremely appealing appearance. Supposedly just 2,000 of this type were struck, yet its extreme scarcity would imply that their number is far fewer. A scarcely matched offering and a must-have for any collectors of the Zanzibar series.
