Künker sale 353, lot 4214

This specimen was lot 4214 in Künker sale 353 (Osnabrück, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €60 (about US$84 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"BRANDENBURG-PREUSSEN, PREUSSEN, KÖNIGREICH, Wilhelm II. 1888-1918. 5 Mark 1914, A. Kaiser in Uniform. Vorzüglich. Erworben am 19.1.1967. (Germany, kingdom of Prussia, William II, 1888-1918, five mark of 1914, military bust. Extremely fine.)"

This type was struck 1913-14 and must have been hoarded during World War One as it is quite a bit more available than the regular bust issue which ended in 1908.

Recorded mintage: 1,587,179.

Specification: 27.77 g, 0.900 fine silver, .803 troy oz ASW, 38 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: J. 114, Dav-791; KM-536.
