Watch List notes:

EGYPT: Abdul Aziz, 1861-1876, AR 10 qirsh, Misr, AH1277 year 4, KM-257, without flower to right of toughra, remarkably well-struck example with deep original toning over brilliant lustrous proof fields; this is the only example graded by either NGC or PCGS, a true rarity in fantastic condition with stunning eye appeal, NGC graded Proof 65, RRRR. In 1863 the Paris Mint struck a series of silver and gold versions of new circulation types for Ottoman Egypt without the flower to the right of the toughra. Proof strikings of these are all extremely rare.

Estimate: 3,000-3,500 USD
