Description
A Stunning Premium Gem "Birds of Paradise" 20 Mark
Perhaps the Finest Extant!
German Colony gold 20 Mark 1895-A, KM9, Fr-1, MS66 NGC.
Mintage: 1,500. An extremely low-mintage single-year type and a
popular design collected the world around for its beautiful
rendering of the native Bird of Paradise. Seldom offered in any
condition, the present piece certainly stands out against nearly
all other survivors with gleaming, prooflike sheen in the fields
and devices that rise boldly from the surfaces and hold impressive
contrasting frost. Close inspection with a loupe confirms this
example deserving of the lofty grade with a couple identifying
lintmarks (as made) serving as pedigree markers. Currently the
single finest example graded by NGC or PCGS and truly a collection
centerpiece.
