MALDIVES. Gold 2 Lariat, AH 1319 (1901). Heaton Mint. NGC MS-66.
Cf. KM-Pn2 (silver). Off-metal strike. An incredibly RARE specimen, featuring an alluring tone of burnt sienna and amber. A light flan crack near the edge is noted, but does not detract from the beauty of this example. Equal to or better than the Adams/Farouk piece, which realized a hammer of $12,000 in early 2016.
Ex: C.T.S. Collection (21 April 1934).
Estimate: $4000.00- $5000.00
