Menelik II gold Werk EE 1889 (1897) MS65 Prooflike NGC, Addis Ababa mint, KM18, Gill-Y13. An absolute conditional outlier within this short-lived gold series, ranking both very near the peak of the NGC certified population (only a single MS66 grades finer) and the sole example at that service to have received a Prooflike designation. Indeed, the fields appear mildly mirrored and struck from exceedingly fresh dies. For comparison, the Axum Collection specimen--MS65 PCGS--brought $3720 in our January 2020 NYINC sale.
