Hesse-Darmstadt. Ernst Ludwig "25th Year Jubilee" 3 Mark 1917-A (surface hairlines), Berlin mint, KM376. Mintage of only 1,333 pieces. Obv. Head of Ernst Ludwig left. Rev. Crowned eagle with date and value. A highly covetable commemorative struck only in Proof, the noted hairlines unfortunate, but the piece as a whole without any evidence of circulation or highpoint wear. It does appear that there is some evidence of a past cleaning with light contact marks. The surfaces are fully glassy and semi-mirrorlike, and this is a piece that is certainly missing from a great many collections of this 20th-century series.
