GERMAN EAST AFRICA. 15 Rupien, 1916-T. Tabora Mint. Wilhelm II. NGC MS-61.
Fr-1; KM-16.1; J-728B. Variety with the arabesque ending under "T". An impressive Mint State example, this sunny piece offers very little evidence of handling, though a somewhat mushy strike probably makes the grade. Amongst the most popular of German colonial pieces, this lovely example has nearly everything going for it: beautiful condition, an interesting design element, and the historical background of a World War I issue.
