Sincona sale 18, lot 1944

This specimen was lot 1944 in Sincona sale 18 (Zurich, May 2014), where it sold for CHF 6,500 (about US$8,565 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"10 Mark 1890. München Selten. Vorzüglich-gutes vorzüglich. (Germany, duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, ten mark of 1890, Munich mint, rare, extremely fine.)"

Several German states issued gold five mark in 1877 but the denomination was abandoned in favor of a silver five mark, gold being restricted to ten and twenty mark pieces. The gold issues of this locale are scanty and rare.

Recorded mintage: 2,000 plus proofs.

Specification: 3.98 g, 0.900 fine gold, .115 troy oz AGW, this specimen 3.97 g.

Catalog reference: J. 278. KM 190. Fr-3861.
