Description: This is a fascinating piece – a 1911 Ottoman Empire 100 Kurush – Visit to Kosovo variety. Sultan Mehmed V went on a tour of the Empire once placed in power, and would personally hand out special gold Mint Visit issues struck with the name of the city/province he was visiting, such as this Kosovo 100 Kurush for sale here. Very rare, with a mintage of only 750, and only two examples known by PCGS. Top Pop. Survival rate is much likely far lower, given the hoarding/melting of gold coins during WW1 and the Ottoman Empire’s subsequent collapse. Beautiful gold luster, and an almost prooflike finish. If you are looking for a showpiece Ottoman Empire coin, this is it.
