Fuad I gold Proof 500 Piastres AH 1351 (1932) PR66 NGC, London mint, KM355, Fr-31. The "finest certified" designation of this superb specimen will come of no surprise upon in-hand examination, the brilliant depth of the surfaces neither lessened by mistreatment nor regular handling. Truly, mirror reflectivity and resounding mint flash are all that meet the viewer as light rolls unimpeded across the surfaces, simultaneously confirming the laudable gem designation and leaving little doubt as to the superior condition of this specimen as compared to other surviving examples. Tied with only a single other NGC-graded specimen at this highest level of certification across a current total of 67 seen by that grading service to date, with no others encountered by PCGS matching the esteemed quality of this piece.
