ETHIOPIA. Silver Birr Fantasy, "EE 1923" (1930 [ca. 1950s]). London (Pinches) Mint. Haile Selassie. NGC PROOF-65.
KMX-10; Gil-S43. Struck for Geoffrey Hearn, a London Coin Dealer, by John Pinches. A beautiful fantasy crown, delivering a full strike and rich reflectivity. Some beautiful golden tone inheres to the surfaces, and this only increases the beauty of the specimen. A piece that is truly hard to fault on any account.
Estimate: $150 - $300
