Württemberg. Wilhelm II aluminium Proof Pattern 3 Marks 1916-F PR63 NGC, Schaaf-175/M1. Very rarely seen at auction, an aluminium pattern for Wilhelm's 3 Mark piece. The off-metal composition gives a pleasing palladium appearance to the planchet, the grade seemingly conservative as the surfaces of this Pattern are ultra-sleek and reflective, and the strike near-perfect with boldly defined details to the King's portrait. The last example of this type to appear at auction was in 2008, and so collectors of this series should not miss their one-in-a-decade opportunity to add this rare selection to their collection.
