Künker sale 354, lot 6307

This specimen was lot 6307 in Künker sale 354 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €240 (about US$ including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"REICHSSILBERMÜNZEN, SACHSEN, Albert, 1873-1902. 2 Mark 1901. Vorzüglich-Stempelglanz. (Germany, kingdom of Saxony, Albert, 1873-1902, two mark of 1901. Extremely fine to uncirculated.)"

This type was struck only 1891-1902 and is common in lightly circulated condition. The Dresden mint was moved to Muldenhutten in 1887. The Muldenhutten mint, after striking coins for the Saxon kings, later minted for the Weimar republic, the Nazis and the Communists before closing in 1953.

Recorded mintage: 439,724.

Specification: 11.11 g, 0.900 fine silver, 28 mm diameter.
