German East Africa
German Colony. Wilhelm II gold 15 Rupien 1916-T MS63 NGC, Tabora mint, KM16.2. Arabesque below the A in OSTAFRIKA variety. Shimmering luster graces the surfaces of this golden specimen, highlighting the choice quality of preservation at every turn. The strike is sound throughout, yielding admirable detail, coupled with a lack of any instances of significant handling. Scarce, and a popular German colonial type, made yet more desirable to the strong preservation exhibited. Sold with old Public Auction Sales auction tag (Lot 616, March 15, 1967).
