Hesse-Darmstadt. Ernst Ludwig Proof "25th-Year Jubilee" 3 Mark 1917-A (surface hairlines), Berlin mint, KM376. Mintage: 1,333. A highly covetable commemorative struck only in proof, the noted hairlines unfortunate, but the piece as a whole without any evidence of circulation or highpoint wear, the surfaces fully glassy and semi-mirrorlike, and a piece that is certainly missing from a great many collections of this 20th-century series.
