Weimar Republic Uniface Reverse Trial "Zeppelin" 5 Mark 1930 UNC (reside, edge damage), cf. KM68 (for type), Schaaf-Unl (cf. 323a/G3 for similar design copper pattern from 1926). 36mm wide. 7mm thick. 56.76gm. Incredibly intriguing for the specialist, and only the second example of this extremely rare and apparently unpublished trial we have handled. Wonderfully bright with original silky finish for its age and the abuse of the reverse and edge. We draw the prospective bidder's attention to a pair of such obverse and reverse trials that we recently sold in our January New York sale (Auction #3071, lot 30520), which sold for $2520.
