Künker sale 406, lot 5057

This specimen was lot 5057 in Künker sale 406 (Osnabrück, March 2024), where it sold for €2,100 (about US$2,756 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"REICHSGOLDMÜNZEN, LÜBECK, Freie und Hansestadt. 10 Mark 1904. Fast Stempelglanz. (Germany, city of Lubeck, ten mark of 1904. About uncirculated.)"

The gold issues of this locale are scanty and rare; the other date of this type is 1901. Lubeck, lacking her own mint, had her coinage made at Berlin (as here) or Hamburg.
