Menelik II silver Proof Fantasy Birr (Talari) EE 1889 (1897)-Dated PR66 NGC, KM-X2, Gill-S41. Reportedly struck by Pinches for Geoffrey Hearn in the 1950s. A type which our research suggests has come up for auction less frequently in recent years in silver than in gold, and almost certainly amongst the finest certified.
