Came in NGC plastic, set it free, will send it to PCGS with other world coins soon.

Looks nice, still has a decent amount of luster. It was in an NGC 55 holder...

    What is it, a Zehri mahbub?

    The denomination below the toughra says "100 qirsh". Listed in Krause as KM# 263, and labelled there "100 qirsh (pound)". It's slightly heavier (and slightly less fine) than a British sovereign.

    Nice I'd work image

    Yeh, it's AH1277/10 100 Qursh

    Tough coin to find in PCGS plastic as there are only 2 and both AU53's.

    Soon there will be 3 image

    The 1869 100 Kurush coin is too recent to be a "Zeri Mahbub".

    The Ottoman Zeri Mahbub gold coins were minted from 1451 to 1839 according to Friedberg's Gold Coins of the World.
    They weighed around 3 grams and were around 20mm in diameter.

    You better post what our hosts grade it man - nice piece - I agree with 53 - but you might very well start even at 50 image

    I'm hoping it's AU50 or better, I don't know how to grade these but from my US experience it looks like a weaker strike around the rim, because the coin itself has very nice luster and very original. Even some dirt in recesses image

    Hoping for a 53 to match the other 2 only PCGS coins graded .... but grade doesn't really matter to me, it's just an example from Egypt from 1869 that I would like in PCGS plastic.
