Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Abdul Hamid II gold 500 Qirsh AH 1293 Year 1 (1876/1877) MS61 NGC, Misr mint (in Egypt), KM286, Fr-89, Pere-973, UBK-pg. 107 (RRR). Notable as the first year for the Abdul Hamid's Egyptian 500 Qirsh, and a splendid representation at that. Subtle cartwheel luster beautifully careens across the surfaces on rotation, and though some extremely minor chatter is observed in the open expanses, it remains well within the confines of the assigned grade. Undoubtedly Mint State in its appearance, with a mere 2 pieces ranking half a point and a point finer at NGC. While the mintage for this particular date is not recorded, the miniscule mintage for the Year 6 (reported as 5, though speculated by UBK to be as high as 30), indicates the paltry figures being produced around this period.
