Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Abdul Aziz gold 500 Qirsh AH 1277 Year 11 (1870/1871) MS63 NGC, Misr mint (in Egypt), KM265, Fr-78 (Rare), Pere-Unl., UBK-pg. 71 (RRRR). Mintage: 200. A supreme conditional rarity within this already challenging series, and the first of only 4 dates for this denomination under Abdul Aziz's reign. Typically encountered with noticeable cleaning, damage from use in jewelry, or basic circulation wear, the surfaces on this specimen, however, are nearly Prooflike, with elegant calligraphy that has been sharply rendered, and underlying recesses that retain a layer of satin mint luster. Incredibly preserved--and a tremendous feat as such-- given that Friedberg simply calls this issue "Rare" in UNC condition. Presently tied for the finest certified at NGC and a piece that is sure to garner interest among connoisseurs of Ottoman coins.
