Prussia. Wilhelm II gold Specimen Pattern 5 Marks 1913-G SP67 PCGS, Karlsruhe mint, Schaaf-114/G2, Kienast-76. By Karl Goetz. Obverse: Bust of Wilhelm II with helmet and ornament; Reverse: Eagle with outstretched wings over small coat of arms. While the silver and copper patterns produced by the renowned Karl Goetz cannot be said to be rare, the same is certainly not true of this gold Pattern, which ranks as decidedly scarce. Its nearly flawless preservation only makes the offering that much more desirable, as the surfaces display next to no signs of handling, the main "marks" in the fields actually having been struck into the planchet. Struck in a matte finish, resulting in a highly medallic appearance.
