TURKEY. Ottoman Empire. 500 Kurush, AH 1327 Year 1 (1909). Constantinople Mint. Muhammad V. PCGS AU-58.
Fr-50; KM-758. An incredibly attractive example of an uncommon type, this piece displays much brilliance and a strong strike with very little evidence of wearing. Some marking is seen on the surfaces, perhaps making the grade. Additionally, some evidence of flatness on the rim and edge suggests this piece may have been used in jewelry in the past, as is common on these types.
Estimate: $2500 - $3500
