Very fine to extremely fine.)"This is the only twenty mark of the 20th century from Baden. It was struck 1911-14 and is common. Altho Baden was not a major issuer of coins prior to unification, its issues during the Empire (1871-1918) were substantial. The Baden mint at Karlsruhe (mintmark "G") struck minor coins during the Empire and afterward until today.
