One Item. One Winner. One Opportunity. This silver coin was struck in the midst of the First World War, one of the greatest conflicts in modern history. It originates from the German Empire, then one of the world's leading powers. Rather than depicting a monarch, it bears the imperial eagle – the official emblem that symbolized the strength and unity of the Empire. Each Pesek Live Item is personally selected by Tomáš Pešek, founder and owner of Pesek Auctions. Every Item consists of one authentic coin, personally chosen by Tomáš Pešek from the thousands of coins that pass through Pesek Auctions each year. Each coin is selected for its collector appeal, originality and potential to surprise. No two Pesek Live Items are ever the same. How does Pesek Live Item work? The auction for this lot runs for seven days without revealing the coin. Only during the live livestream, when this lot comes up for auction, is the coin revealed. For approximately two minutes, it is presented in detail from multiple angles, giving bidders the opportunity to examine it carefully, form their own opinion of its collector value and decide what it is worth to them. Bidding continues throughout the presentation until the lot closes. This is not a randomly assembled mystery item and not a lottery. Every participant in the live auction has the opportunity to see the coin before the auction ends and make their own decision based on their own knowledge, experience and judgement. Every Pesek Live Item is unique and will never be repeated after the auction has ended. Note: Any catalogue, estimated or market values mentioned during the livestream are provided for informational purposes only. They do not constitute an expert appraisal or a guarantee of future selling prices. Each bidder is encouraged to evaluate the coin independently and determine their own maximum bid. We wish you the best of luck and a keen eye in discovering the hidden value of your Pesek Live Item. Important: Sorry, due to current US Government policy, shipping to the USA is temporarily unavailable. With every purchase, we automatically include an invoice, which may be required in some countries to demonstrate the origin of the coin.
