‘Abd al-’Aziz, Ottoman Sultan AH 1277-1293/AD 1861-1876

KM 696, PCGS MS-61

Qustantiniyah (Constantinople) mint. Toughra with regnal year and wreath with cross quivers and branches below. Rev: Mint and date within wreath, milled edge. (cf. KM. 696.) Definitely not a circulation strike due to the high knife rims, preparation of the planchet and dies along with the proof-like surfaces. Extremely rare.
