German Colony. Wilhelm II gold 15 Rupien 1916-T MS63 PCGS, Tabora mint, KM16.1, J-728b. Arabesque below "T" of OSTAFRIKA variety. The surge of interest in German colonials has driven bidder enthusiasm for this remarkable type, which features the trumpeting elephant and mountain backdrop. The granular surfaces and slightly muted devices are hallmarks of the type, though this example benefits from a pretty, beige-gold patina. This issue is sure to reward its new owner.
