This specimen was lot 4189 in Künker sale 353 (Osnabrück, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €220 (about US$306 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BRANDENBURG-PREUSSEN, PREUSSEN, KÖNIGREICH, Wilhelm I. 1861-1888. 5 Mark 1877, B. Fast sehr schön. (Germany, kingdom of Prussia, William I, 1861-88, five mark of 1877. About very fine.)"
After striking silver five marks 1874-76, gold five marks were issued from the Berlin, Hannover and Frankfurt mints 1877-78. The type does not seem to have been a success, as the denomination was suspended and silver five mark resumed in 1888.
Recorded mintage: 516,600 plus proofs.
Specification: 1.99 g, 0.900 fine gold.
Catalog reference: J. 244B, KM 507, Fr-3826.
