Yusuf nickel Proof Essai 1/2 Rial (5 Dirhams) AH 1331 (1913)-(Pa) PR66 Cameo NGC, Paris mint, KM-E6, Gad-52, Lec-180. A practically perfect Essai striking, and one of the few in the series no marked with the word ESSAI on the planchet. Fully cameoed throughout--owing to the light frosting of the designs that creates a light-dark contrast against the neighboring fields--and one of the finest to come to market in recent years. Though the composition is not provided on the holder, we would note that past auction appearances of this coin stated that it was struck in nickel. Ex. Heritage Auction #3032 (April 2014, Lot 25483); Stack's Bowers Auction 182 (January 2014, Lot 10602)
