This specimen was lot 3738 in Sincona sale 83 (Zürich, May 2023), where it sold for 700 CHF (about US$937 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "TURKEY, 500 Kurush 1327 H./Jahr 6, Qustantiniya (Konstantinopel/Istanbul). Rashad neben der Thugra. NGC MS63. Das durch NGC höchstbewertete Exemplar (Rashad near the toughra, Finest certified by NGC)." This specimen is from a series struck in Istanbul during the reign of Sultan Muhammed V (r. 1909-18). This denomination was introduced during the rule of Sultan Abdul Mejid (r. 1839-61). Ottoman coins were dated using regnal years; the reverse bears the date AH 1327 (= 1909 A.D.) while the obverse bears the regnal year 6 (= AH 1332). The Hejira calendar uses a lunar year instead of a solar year, so its starting date moves from year to year. This type was issued AH 1332-37 (1912-17); the SCWC prices them all the same. The last gold fifty kuruş of this size was issued in 1929, under Ataturk's Republic.
