Künker sale 354, lot 6407

This specimen was lot 6407 in Künker sale 354 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €70 (about US$98 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"REICHSSILBERMÜNZEN, WÜRTTEMBERG, Wilhelm II. 1891-1918. 3 Mark 1914. Vorzüglich-Stempelglanz. (Germany, kingdom of Württemberg, William II, 1891-1918, three mark of 1914, extremely fine to uncirculated.)"

The three mark was roughly equal to the old thaler and superseded it after 1908. Coin issues ceased at the start of World War One and the kingdom was abolished with the collapse of the Empire in 1918.
