Description
Remarkable Gem Cameo Proof German New Guinea 20 Mark
Among the Most Famous Coins in the World!
German Colony gold Proof 20 Mark 1895-A PR66 Cameo PCGS,
Berlin mint, KM9, Jaeger-709. Mintage: 1,500 (for both Proof and
Business Strike). A magnificent beauty, widely heralded as one of
the finest designs in all of numismatics, capturing the
bird-of-paradise, one of the most curious species of animal in all
the world, mid-dance and plumes spread, perched atop a forest
branch. On the reverse, the composition is more traditional, yet
still entirely elegant in its execution, with a bow-tied palm
wreath surrounding the denomination and date. The present example,
among the very finest known, and currently the finest certified by
PCGS, has even more attributes than its technical high level of
preservation suggests. Cameo contrast, not always evident on this
issue, adds further allure, contributing emphasis to the raised
design when observed against the gleaming fields. Additionally,
subtle tone in apricot-orange hue moves over both sides,
highlighting some highpoints, but mostly lightly touching the
fields. When viewed at an angle, the typical linear die polish
lines are observed, and should not be considered anything but an
artifact of production; a glass shows a couple tiny ticks that
prevent perfection. Truly, a world-class coin in all regards, and
one of the most notable standouts in this amazing Kaiser
Collection. We wish all bidders good luck!From The Kaiser Collection of German Gold Coins
