Egypt (Ottoman Empire), gold 500 qirsh, Abdul Aziz, AH1277//11 (1870-71), Cairo mint (Misr), NGC MS 63 ("top pop"). KM-265; Fr-78. Large gold coin with lustrous open fields (nearly prooflike) displaying minimal marks and no wear, from a short series and desirable as the highest denomination (mintage of only 200 pieces) made in only four years, which Friedberg simply calls “Rare” without value in UNC, as many were made into jewelry, this example in fact exceptional and choice for the assigned grade (in our opinion the finest ever to come up for auction) and currently tied with one other for finest in NGC census. NGC #1883694-001.
