Ahmed Pasha Bey gilt-brass Uniface Obverse Essai 100 Francs 1930-(a) MS66 NGC, Paris mint, KM-E12, Lec-485b (Very Rare). Quite possibly one of the finest survivors of this extremely rare uniface die trial, with our research indicating that only 3 or so specimens (including this piece) have come to auction in the past decade. Presently the only example certified by NGC, and perhaps one of the finest known.
Ex. Miller Collection (Sincona Auction 31, October 2016, Lot 291); Stephen Album Auction 20 (September 2014, Lot 2196)
