In 1898, Emperor Wilhelm II made a historic visit to Palestine together with his wife Augusta Victoria. When they reached Jaffa Gate, they were met by a procession of hundreds of people. During this visit, which made a strong impression on Jerusalem, the emperor laid the cornerstone for the Augusta Victoria complex on Mt. Scopus and donated money to the Bikur Cholim Hospital. These silver coins were issued in honor of his visit.
Fine to very fine condition.
