Description
German Colony. Wilhelm II gold 15 Rupien 1916-T MS64 PCGS, Tabora mint, KM16.2. Arabesque below the A in OSTAFRIKA variety. Remarkably sharp execution for the type, and an issue that remains highly coveted among collectors, this offering displays amber color over both sides with russet tone at the base of the designs. An exacting strike has rendered the emblematic elephant design in impeccable fashion--with the mountains behind still fully bold--and the reverse eagle motif retains a noticeable level of sharpness throughout. Lustrous, and bordering on Gem, currently tied with one other example in this top classification at PCGS, and only one finer (MS65) at NGC.Metal: Gold
