1849 * Martyrdom of Mullá Husayn * -- The night before he arrived at the Shrine of Shaykh Tabarsí, the guardian of the Shrine had a dream. He dreamt that the Imám Husayn, one of the Imáms descended from Muhammad, arrived at the Shrine with seventy-two soldiers and a large number of companions. He also dreamt that they stayed at this Shrine for some time, took part in many fights against their enemies, and won all those battles. One of the most important parts of the dream was that the Prophet of God Himself came to the Shrine and blessed the company. Later, all these things came true. When Mullá Husayn arrived at the Shrine on the next day, the guardian immediately recognized him as the Imám Husayn whom he had seen in his dream. He threw himself at Mullá Husayn's feet and kissed them lovingly. He even joined Mullá Husayn's company,and was later killed by the enemy in one of the battles. The time from the day when Mullá Husayn was first attacked by his enemies to the day of his martyrdom was one hundred and sixteen days. The number of martyrs killed during those one hundred and sixteen days was seventy-two. In four different battles, Mullá Husayn had shown such courage and power that it could have only come from God. He was thirty-six years old when he died. At the age of eighteen, he first met Siyyid Kázim. For nine years he studied under him. The other nine years of his life were spent in teaching and protecting the Faith of God against its enemies. When the Báb learned of Mullá Husayn's death, he wrote praises and prayers for him which would equal three times the length of the Qu'án. In one of His Tablets, the Báb wrote that the very dust where the body of Mullá Husayn lies buried can bring happiness to the down-hearted and healing to the sick. In the Kitáb-i-Iqán, Bahá'u'lláh pays him the highest tribute. He wrote: "But for him, God would not have been established upon the seat of His mercy, nor have ascended the throne of eternal glory!" Mullá Husayn is one of the greatest figures in the history of the Bahá'i Faith and his memory lives today and will live for hundreds of years as an inspiration and an example for all who walk in the path of God. Happy to get this coin from gold expert Mr Doug Winter, author extraordinaire -- From the Cooper Union Collection. With L, normal stars. The surfaces are clean and frosty with some orange-gold colors seen on both sides. There is a small spot on the reverse at 7:00.

* 1892 is the year Bahá’u’lláh passed away * CAC, Ex: The Fairmont Collection -- During 40 years of imprisonment and exile, Bahá'u'lláh brought to humanity the latest guidance from God. His shrine and surrounding gardens, located on the outskirts of Acre (‘Akka), Israel, were listed by UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2008 for their "profound spiritual meaning" -- see https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1220 The news of His ascension was instantly communicated to the Ottoman Empire's Sultan Abdu’l-Hamid in a telegram which began with the words “the Sun of Bahá has set”. The sacred remains were interred within the precincts of His residence in Bahji, just outside the city walls of Acre (‘Akka), where He had arrived in 1868 as a prisoner. It is now the holiest place of pilgrimage for members of the Bahá'i Faith, and each day Bahá'is turn toward it in prayer. For a full week after His passing, a vast number of mourners, rich and poor alike, tarried to grieve with the bereaved family, partaking day and night of the food that was dispensed by its members. Notables, among whom were Muslim Shi’ahs, Sunnis, Christians, Jews and Druzes, as well as poets, ulamas and government officials, all joined in lamenting the loss, and in magnifying the virtues and greatness of Bahá’u’lláh's life, character, and Revelation, many of them paying to Him their written tributes, in verse and in prose. :-) www.bahaullah.org www.bahai.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

1853 * Bahá'u'lláh is released from Tehran's Siyah Chal dungeon prison, "the Black Pit", and exiled to Baghdad, the beginning of 40 years as a prisoner, never to return to His homeland again. ********* Mr Doug Winter writes: This piece is notable for its handsome amber-gold color and it shows flashes of remaining semi-PL on both sides. On its own, the reverse grades a solid AU55+. The 1853-O eagle is only marginally scarce in the AU53 to AU55 range but very few of the surviving examples are CAC quality. This is borne out by the low CAC populations. No CAC approved 1853-O eagle has sold at auction and since 2010, just three PCGS AU53's have crossed the block. CAC has approved two in this grade with 19 finer.

1899 * 'Abdu'l-Bahá lays the foundation stone for the Shrine of the Báb on Mt Carmel in the Holy Land. After 50 years, the Báb's remains arrive in the Holy Land from hiding places in Persia, but will remain hidden 10 more years before the Shrine is complete. The first Tablets from 'Abdu'l-Bahá arrive in America. * Miss Olive Jackson of Manhattan becomes the first black American woman Bahá'i. * May Bolles (later May Maxwell) goes to the Holy Land to see 'Abdu'l-Bahá, part of the very first group of Westerners to make such a pilgrimage. Upon her return home in Paris, she establishes the first Bahá'i group on the European continent. * Birth of Hermann Grossman, future Hand of the Cause of God, in Argentina into a family of German background. His son Hartmut would later survive Nazi abduction and go one to become a member of the Bahá'i international governing body the Universal House of Justice.

1870 * Sacrifice of Mirza Mihdi * Age 22, youngest son of Bahá'u'lláh -- he falls through a skylight in the roof of the prison while chanting prayers. His dying wish was that his life be accepted as a ransom for the opening of the gates of the city to pilgrims who wanted to see Bahá'u'lláh. Just months later, Bahá'u'lláh -- Who was supposed to have been in solitary confinement for the rest of His life -- is moved out of the Most Great Prison into a house in the western part of 'Akka.
