Ottoman Empire. Abdul Hamid II gold 500 Qirsh AH 1293 Year 1 (1876/1877) AU58 NGC, Misr mint (in Egypt), KM286, Fr-17, Pere-973, UBK-pg. 107 (RRR). Fully struck and revealing only minor rub at the highest points of the devices, the surrounding fields exhibiting an even scattering of handling amidst a consistent lustrous gleam that enlivens the surfaces from every angle of inspection. A scarcer issue that remains highly desirable to collectors, particularly so in this near-mint preservation. Ex. UBS Gold & Numismatics Auction 57 (September 2003, Lot 3339)
