Germans were not involved in Chinese coinage. Kiautschau (nowadays Jiaozhou) was a leased concession to Germany, similar to Hong Kong to the British and Macau to the Portuguese.

The concession was short lived, 1898-1914, but an important piece of the inheritance is the Tsingtao beer brewery, which is thriving to this very day.

Germany entered the stage of colonization very late (in the 1880-ies), and lost all of its colonies during WWI (1916 at the latest). So German colonial coinage is old, historically interesting, rare, and highly sought after. This accounts for the relatively high prices.
