Question
front profile facing left Friedrich II Grossherzog Von Baden with G at bottom. Back is a crowned spread eagle Deutsches Reich 1909, bottom Drei Mark. Around edge of coin GOTT scrolly design MIT scrolly design UNS scrolly design - BEAUTIFUL COINS
Hi Kathy,
Are there also two different sized coins like this? Or is the title left over from the last question. If you have two identical designs like this, the other cannot be 1909, it can be 1911 or 1913 for a slightly smaller coin, and 1908 or 1913 for a larger sized coin.
The drei (three) mark you have is from the German state of Baden and also made of silver. Value on this one is from $15 to $150 depending on condition. A really beautiful example will have a premium even above the high end of that range.
If you have a larger funf mark, the values range from $40 to $1,000+ (these are rare in high grade) and for the smaller zwei mark it would be $100 to $1,000+ (very scarce coins in any condition).
Thanks again! =)

Expertise
My specialty is world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries, primarily non-US foreign coins and related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them. I am NOT knowledgeable in paper money/banknotes, ancient or "shipwreck" coins. Thank you.
Experience
Collector of world coins since early childhood. Access to a variety of auction records and reference material. You can also find me on Facebook.
