German States
Prussia. Wilhelm I Proof Taler 1871-A PR66 Cameo NGC, Berlin mint, KM500. A rare Proof, vibrantly toned with hues of violet, cobalt, and sea green. Proof German coinage from this era has little in the way of contemporary documentation regarding mintage figures and other details, and there is often much controversy over the designation of "Proof" versus simply "Prooflike" for certain examples that seem to toe the line between Proof and Business Strike. This particular piece, however, demonstrates a brilliant cameo quality that firmly solidifies it into the realm of the former, with delicately mirrored fields on both sides that contrast starkly with the razor-sharp and heavily frosted devices that rise above them. A lovely piece to behold and certain to attract much attention from collectors of both German coinage and colorful toning alike.
