Prussia 10 mark 1887 (?) [επιλυμένο]

4 αναρτήσεις • προβλήθηκε 173 φορές

Hello! 

I was about to catalog my first golden coin.

 

 

But then I figured out that according to Krause catalog Prussian 10 mark coin was not minted in 1887.

N#32030

 

 

My coin parameters are the same :

Diameter 19,5 mm.

Weight 3,95 g. 

Edge is Arabesque style ~ * ~

 

Does anyone know where this coin might come from?

 

Thank you in advance!

Pavel

 

P.S. Sorry for posting here. It should have been in “сoin identifications and valuations”

 Not on there as it is not a real coin. 

Compared to the obverse on here > 

N#32030 

The obverse spacing between words is further apart on a real coin - for example. 

 

 For comparison >

Thank you very much for your answer! 

Yes, I can see the difference. 

 

Yet it turns out that Prussian 10 mark coin of 1887 exists (although they are not in the Krause catalog)

And exactly the same coin as mine was recently sold at auction in Australia:

So it seems to be a real one, but maybe different type. 

Has anyone come across or does own this type of coin (1887) ?

this is unfortunately a fantasy coin, altough it seems made of gold, but best to have that maybe tested.

It is listed in the Unusual Coins Catalogue with X Reference number
