-The first specimen was lot 3914 in Sincona sale 9 (Zurich, October 2012), where it sold for 350 CHF (about US$443 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[2]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''DEUTSCHLAND Bayern, Königreich Otto, 1886-1913. 5 Mark 1908. Polierte Platte. FDC.'' (Kingdom of Bavaria, Otto, 1886-1913, five mark of 1908, proof.)"</blockquote>  This type was struck intermittently 1891-1913 and most dates are common. Otto's brother, [[Bavaria 1875-D 5 mark|Ludwig II]], was deposed in 1886 and died a week later under very suspicious circumstances. Otto was also insane and was placed under a regency which lasted until his death in 1913.
