German East Africa
German Colony. Wilhelm II gold 15 Rupien 1916-T MS64 NGC, Tabora mint, KM16.2, J-728a. Arabesque below the T in "OSTAFRIKA" variety. An ever-popular German colonial type, sought-after due in part to rarity but also the subject matter, prominently displaying an elephant for which the issue is instantly recognizable. While the textured nature of the issue often prevents the type of glistening luster that one necessarily expects from other gold issues in uncirculated condition, this example holds sparkling touches of shimmering brilliance that caress the mountainous backdrop and rims, lending a firm sense of preservation that one rarely encounters from this already scarce emission.
