NGC MS 65 - TOP POP.
We are offering rare and two-years only issue of Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen 5 Mark 1908, short beard variety. This particular coin reflects highly lustrous fields with sharp uncirculated details of the portrait and the Imperial Eagle. Minimal amount of hairlines, reflective brilliant uncirculated surfaces bring this gorgeous coin to the Top of Population graded by NGC. Touch of golden hue towards the edges attenuates appearance and doesn't diminish the value. Low mintage - 60000 only. Perfect collectible and investment coin!!
