| Lot description: German East Africa German Colony. Wilhelm II 2 Rupien 1893 MS65 NGC, Berlin mint, KM5, J-714. The Rupie denomination for German East Africa was struck bearing most every date during it's run of production from 1890 to 1902; in contrast, the larger 2 Rupien denomination was only struck bearing dates of 1893 and 1894. This stark contrast in production span and overall number of specimens produced is reflected in the more pronounced scarcity of the issue at at hand. The 2 Rupien is the largest silver coin produced for Germany's colonial African territory, and though not quite the size of a prototypical Crown-size issue, at 35mm in diameter it is not far off. The limited run of this impressive issue stokes high demand in any quality grade, but Gems such as this are downright rare. Not since 2019 has a Gem or better example of the type surfaced with Heritage, a splendid opportunity for enthusiasts of the German East Africa series. Ex.

| Lot description: German East Africa German Colony. Wilhelm II 1/2 Rupie 1891 MS67 NGC, Berlin mint, KM4, J-712. The 1891 issue seen here boasts the lowest mintage from the three dates produced over a ten year period from 1891 to 1901. NGC has yet to certify a representative above the Superb Gem Mint State assignment presented here, though PCGS claims two MS68 pieces on their population reports. First year issues were often saved by collectors so Brilliant Uncirculated survivors are to be expected but specimens of such amazing quality are still outliers and thus provoke a powerful response by collectors upon offer. The dappled, sometimes colorful, patina is wholly original and the satin luster is undisturbed; the finest example we've handled in a few years. Ex.
