Silver five-mark coin minted in Karlsruhe during the reign of Frederick II, the last Grand Duke of Baden, in the final years of the German Empire. The obverse features the naked bust of the monarch facing left, with a realistic and sober portrait, surrounded by the inscription identifying his title as Grand Duke of Baden. Under the bust appears the letter G, corresponding to the Karlsruhe mint. The reverse shows the crowned German Imperial Eagle, with wings spread and the heraldic shield on the chest, surrounded by the denomination and issue date. The specimen shows well-defined relief, especially in the portrait, the legends and the eagle’s plumage, with surfaces of slightly darkened silver tone and soft golden nuances in some peripheral areas. Minor contact marks and superficial scratching compatible with its MS62 grade, preserving a good part of its original luster. Piece certified by NGC, representative of the issues of the German states prior to World War I and the disappearance of their monarchies in 1918.
