EGYPT. Ottoman Empire. Silver 40 Para Pattern, AH 1277 Year 10 (1869/70). Paris Mint. Abdul Aziz. PCGS SPECIMEN-55.
KM-Unlisted; Pere-Unlisted; MH-19. An INCREDIBLY RARE off-metal pattern striking in silver of this normally bronze coin, the present specimen is largely unknown and, despite bearing the "Misr" mint signature for Cairo, was in fact produced in Paris. Handsomely toned, with a gunmetal gray nature, hints of pastel iridescence lying below, and very little in the way of actual handling. Exceptionally enticing and provocative, especially for the advanced collector of Ottoman issues.
Estimate: $3000 - $5000
