Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. Wilhelm Ernst Proof silver 5 Mark 1903-A PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS, Berlin mint, KM218, Dav-848. Struck to commemorate the Grand Duke's first marriage to Caroline. Amazing cameo contrast, as the heavily frosted devices contrast heavily against the deeply mirrored fields. No significant flaws are noted and a touch of golden patina enhances the already splendid eye-appeal. The single finest example certified by PCGS and NGC combined. From the Heritage 1/15/2013 New York auction, Lot 27449, where it sold for $3,744 hammer.
