Description

Menelik II 1/2 Gersh EE 1888 (1896)-A MS63 Brown PCGS, Paris mint, KM7. Mintage: 200. Struck in an absolutely miniscule mintage for any minor of the era, and therefore an object of notable importance to collectors of the Ethiopian series. Well-defined throughout (the dies hardly having encountered enough use to experience any meaningful deterioration), the surfaces a pleasant aged brown with hints of mint red visible throughout.
