Künker sale 406, lot 4878

This specimen was lot 4878 in Künker sale 406 (Osnabrück, March 2024), where it sold for €2,900 (about US$3,805 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"REICHSKLEINMÜNZEN, 10 Pfennig 1892, J. Von großer Seltenheit. Kl. Randfehler, schön-sehr schön. (Germany, ten pfennig of 1892, Hamburg mint. Extremely rare, small rim nick, fine to very fine.)"

This coin is a copper-nickel ten pfennig from a type issued 1890-1915 from six mints, including the Hamburg (mintmark "J") mint. For some reason, this is a rare date. Under the German Empire of 1871-1918, the denominations of 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. The ten pfennig was originally copper-nickel but was switched to iron in 1915 to save materials for the war effort.

Recorded mintage: unknown but rare.

Specification: 4 g, copper-nickel, 21 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 12, J-13.
