Description

Menelik II silver Pattern Birr EE 1892 (1899/1900) MS63 NGC, Paris mint, cf. KM19 (for circulation issue), Gill-Unl. Lettered edge, no signature to obverse, without privy marks. Deeply and attractively toned, lending a nearly medallic, semi-matte appearance to this choice selection. Darker color grips the contours of the devices, further enhancing the presentation of this conservatively graded example, which lacks any easily identifiable instances of handling throughout its surprisingly clear surfaces.
