Kiau Chau. German Occupation nickel-plated brass 10 Pfennig Token ND (c. early 20th Century) MS63 NGC, Menzel-4287.1.2. A choice survivor of this historically important issue struck during the German occupation of Kiau Chau, which would end in the same year after joint besiegement by Japanese and British forces. Only the occasional wisp limits the assigned certification from greater heights, while glowing cartwheel luster slides effortlessly across the fields to yield a commendable aesthetic presentation.
