Kiau Chau. German Occupation nickel-plated brass 10 Pfennig Token ND (c. 1914) MS61 NGC, Menzel-4287.1.2. A thoroughly scarce token type, produced in Berlin for the German colony of Kiau Chau, which ultimately fell to the Japanese in 1914. While minorly weak in the plating atop the high points, this piece remains far superior to the Dana Roberts example we sold in our September 2012 Long Beach sale, with an MS62-graded specimen bringing $3200 in March 2019.
