* Ex Maurice Storck Collection Very honored to have this coin from ANA Lifemember #253. Mr Maurice moved to the higher Kingdom at age 97 in 2019. He served during WWII, surviving the attack at Pearl Harbor and later earning a Purple Heart medal during further action in the Far East. He was one of only a few Americans to attend deposed Egyptian King Farouk's Collection auctions in Cairo in 1954, along with iconic dealers Abe Kosoff, Sol Kaplan, Bob Schermerhorn, and Hans Schulman. Prominent collectors included John J. Pittman, Gaston DiBello, and Ambassador & Mrs. R. Henry Norweb. Mr Maurice brought home some incredible early gold and silver coins, including this one, many of which he kept more than 65 years and were not auctioned again until after his passing! Thank you for your decades of service, sir, to humanity and to numismatics. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* 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 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

1892 * 29 May Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh * >> Bahá'is believe Bahá'u'lláh brought to humanity the latest message from God. >> 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 'Akka (Israel), 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. >> On the night preceding 8 May 1892, Bahá'u'lláh contracted a slight fever which, though it mounted the following day, soon after subsided. He continued to grant interviews to friends and pilgrims, but it soon became evident that He was not well. His fever returned in a more acute form than before, His general condition grew steadily worse, and complications ensued which at last culminated in His ascension on 29 May 1892, eight hours after sunset, in the 75th year of His age. >> 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.
