Commemorative 5 Mark of Wilhelm Ernst of Same-Weimar-Eisenach (1901-1918) - for the marriage of the Grand Duke and Caroline, Princess of Reuss. Gorgeous medallic design with accoladed busts of the Duke and the Princess! Proof-uncirculated coin with mirrored fields and touch of champagne toning. Almost no hairlines in the fields which is quite rare for this large coin. Graded as PR 65 by PCGS - one of the top in population! Great collectible and investment coin!
