German New Guinea
German Colony. Wilhelm II 5 Mark 1894-A MS64 PCGS, Berlin mint, KM7. An outstanding representative of one of the most beautifully engraved Crowns of the late-19th century. Lightly toned surfaces exhibit dazzling luster and few marks of note. The bird of paradise is well-struck with nearly all breast and wing feathers struck up. Highly appealing in this near-Gem level of certification and a prize for the colonial Crown enthusiast.
