ETHIOPIA. Gold Pattern 1/4 Birr (2 Werk), EE 1917 (1924). Addis Ababa Mint. Zewditu I. PCGS AU-53 Gold Shield.
Fr-25; Gill-YA21; KMX-4.1. A pleasing example of this trial issue with the denomination obscured at the Addis Ababa Mint. The complexion is flashy and accented by satiny luster in the peripheries. A few scattered marks are seen on the obverse portrait but the reverse remains notably smooth. One of only two examples graded by PCGS, with the other certified AU-55.
Estimate: $3500.00- $4000.00
