Heritage sale 3096, lot 30354
H3096-30354r.jpg

This specimen was lot 30354 in Heritage auction 3096 (Dallas, TX, March 2021), where it sold for $5,520. The catalog description[1] noted,

"Ottoman Empire. Abdul Aziz gold 500 Kurush AH 1277 Year 1 (1860/1861) AU58 NGC, Constantinople mint (in Turkey). The seldom-encountered accession year for this largest gold denomination struck in the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and the third-lowest mintage date in the series, just behind the Year 3 and prohibitively rare Year 5, for which it is supposed that only 2 pieces were struck. Preserving a glassy mint luster within the protected loops of the toughra, the present offering is currently the finest of only two certified between NGC and PCGS combined, with a survey of recent auction records revealing a paucity of Year 1 examples coming to market, and the date altogether missing from the Hans Wilski Collection. Ex. Numismatica Genevensis Auction 2 (November 2002, Lot 1273). From the Paramount Collection."

This type was struck regnal years 1 thru 13. None are common but years 1, 3 and 5 are very scarce.

Recorded mintage: 3,180.

Specification: 36.08 g, 0.917 fine gold, 1.063 troy oz ASW, reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM 698, Fr-125, cf. Pere-916 (different date), UBK-pg. 61 (RR).
