Beautiful German State Toners

[Z16Z06]

I hope you guys enjoy the new pics

 

I've really enjoyed reading all the recent journals regarding toned coins. You guys inspired me to finally take the time to post some decent pictures of my German State 2M, 3M, & 5M coins including my latest addition shown below. It's a beautiful 1909 Saxony 5 mark celebrating the 500th Anniversary of Leipzig University.

Grade is MS66, here's the reverse:

Not sure Friedrich II would like to be called "quarrelsome" on a coin. He might pick a fight over that!

 

Nice coin! Great detailing on both sides. What's on the edge?

That's an interesting observation. Just to clarify we are talking about Friederich August III and not II. Some translations use "Warlike" instead of "quarrelsome". He did have an extensive military career prior to his accession to the throne. Maybe some of our other members will know more.

 

The edge lettering says:

GOTT MIT UNS or GOD WITH US
