German States
Prussia. Wilhelm II Proof 5 Mark 1888-A PR64 PCGS, Berlin mint, KM513, J-101. A superb rarity both as an early post-unification Proof and as the first year for the type emerging out of the tumultuous Year of the Three Emperors--following the death of Wilhelm I and the less than one-year reign of Friedrich III. Bathed in a captivating array of goldfish orange, electric purple, and cobalt tones, the present offering is only the second example of this Proof date we've handled, with the last ranking a full 3 grade points lower.
