Baden. Friedrich II gold Proof 10 Mark 1912-G PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS, Karlsruhe mint, KM282, Jaeger-191. A rare proof type and a very rare date, with examples seldom making their way to market, yet always being met with great enthusiasm when they do. The present example, an exceptional Gem, should therefore attract even more attention, as it ranks not only among the finest extant for the type, but may very well be the finest known for the date, with no comparable certified examples. Deeply frosted on the central design as the grade suggests, with essentially undisturbed reflectivity in the fields that only adds to the effect. Vivid tone over the raised rims frames the centers and gives the eye-appeal a further boost.From The Kaiser Collection of German Gold Coins
