ETHIOPIA. Gold Gersh Pattern, EE 1889 (1897). Addis Ababa Mint. Menelik II. PCGS SPECIMEN-66.
KM-Pn1; Gill-M18. A VERY RARE and tremendously attractive pattern issue featuring the crowned and draped bust of Emperor Menelik and the Lion of Judah, this unrivaled Gem must assuredly be one of the finest, if not the finest, representatives of the type extant. Some die cracks and ghosting are evident, but only add to the majestic character, and otherwise easily give way to the blazing aspect of the radiant brilliance. Undoubtedly a must for the advanced collector of Ethiopian issues.
Estimate: $1500 - $3000
