This specimen was lot 2535 in Künker sale 439 (Osnabrück, March 2026), where it sold for €280 (about US$385 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"REICHSKLEINMÜNZEN, 1 Pfennig 1888 F. Prachtexemplar. Vorzüglich-Stempelglanz. Aus der Sammlung Jürgen und Erika Schmidt, Bovenden. Exemplar der Lagerliste Fritz Rudolf Künker 176, August 2005, Nr. 821. (empire small change, one pfennig of 1888. Cabinet example, extremely fine to uncirculated.)"
This coin is a copper pfennig from a type issued 1873-89 from the Berlin (mintmark "A"), Hannover (mintmark "B"), Frankfurt (mintmark "C"), Munich (mintmark "D"), Dresden (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 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.
Recorded mintage: 584,000, a better date.
Specification: 2 g, bronze, 17.65 mm diameter, plain edge.
Catalog reference: KM 1, J. 1.
