- EGYPT. Ottoman Empire. 20 Qirsh, AH 1293-W Year 22 (1896/7). Berlin Mint. Abdul Hamid II. NGC MS-63. KM-296; cf. Pere-989 (Year 20). Though bearing the mint signature of "Misr" (Cairo), this issue, in fact, was struck in Berlin, with the small W below the wreath indicating Emil Weigand, the designer at the mint. Remaining mostly argent throughout, save for some deeper toning in the form of a crescent upon each side, this enchantingly Choice crown presents great lustrous brilliance remaining and yields a sharp, well executed strike. Meanwhile, it is tied with just one other for the top spot in the NGC census. Estimate: $1,000 - $2,000. Click here for certification details from NGC.
