This specimen was lot 3042 in Steve Album Auction 51 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2025), where it sold for $102. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Germany|GERMANY]]: Kaiserreich, AR 1/2 mark, 1916-G, a fantastic example with blazing luster, tied for the finest example at PCGS (2/0), PCGS graded MS67." This coin is from a type issued 1905-19 from the Berlin (mintmark "A"), Munich (mintmark "D"), Muldenhutten (mintmark "E"), Stuttgart (mintmark "F", shown here), Karlsruhe (mintmark "G") and Hamburg (mintmark "J") mints. Under the German Empire of 1871-1918, the denominations of [[Baden 1905-G 2 mark|two mark]] and up were permitted for the formerly independent principalities while the lower denominations (one pfennig thru one mark) were minted to a unified design. This date is one of the issues of 1914-19 which were hoarded.

''Specification:'' 2.77 g, 0.900 fine silver, 20 mm diameter.
