Description
German Colony. Wilhelm II 5 Mark 1894-A MS64 NGC, Berlin mint, KM7, Dav-429, J-707.

This wonderful near-Gem specimen is lightly patinated with pearl and ivory overtones, though a few pockets of muted rainbow color occupy the outer fields of the obverse. An issue of numismatic royalty, excellently preserved as offered here.Metal: Silver
