Description
This is a very low mintage, silver,
"Zwei"
or Two Marks from the
"Grand Duchy of Hesse"
in Germany. It was struck at the Berlin mint in 1895 during the reign of Ernst Ludwig. He was the last
"Grand Duke"
from 1892 until Hesse itself ceased to exist as a state in 1918, at the end of World War I.
Hesse-Darmstadt was founded in 1567 and the
"Landgraviate"
was one of the two main branches of the Hesse lands. It became a
"Grand Duchy"
in 1806 during the Napoleonic period. It was called just
"Hesse"
after 1867 and became part of the German Empire in 1871.
Weight: 11.05 Gram, 27 Millimeter, .900 Silver. Mintage: 53,700.
As a comparison, the famous 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln Cent had a mintage of 484,000 pieces.

Obverse:

Ernst Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse.
• A •
Berlin mint mark.
• Ernst Ludwig.
Reverse:
DEUTSCHES REICH 1895 • ZWEI MARK • Crowned, German Imperial eagle.
The Coin:
A pleasing example of a very scarce coin. It saw some hands, and has earned some light wear and the normal marks and scratches. Fully original, and mostly white, it still has lots of original luster. It has not been cleaned and is scarcer as such. As grading is subjective please see the pictures and judge for yourself.
