German Colony gold 15 Rupien 1916-T MS63 PCGS, Tabora mint, KM16.1, Jaeger-728b. Arabesque below the "T" of OSTAFRIKA variety. A beautiful coin, and as fine as the type comes, with dazzling surfaces that are both essentially mark-free and pleasingly defined, especially around the focal elephant and mountain backdrop that make this issue so beloved. On the reverse, dashes of pleasing orange-gold and multicolored tone sit in the recesses around the legends and German eagle, serving only to give the piece further character. For the collector who has been waiting for the "right" example of this classic to come along, that wait may have just ended.From The Kaiser Collection of German Gold Coins
Estimate: 3500-4500 USD
