20 Mark - Frederick I

Frederick I of Baden was among the most politically influential of the German federal sovereigns, maintaining unusually close ties to the Prussian court — he was Wilhelm I's son-in-law — and was an early and vocal advocate for German unification under Prussian leadership. His gold coinage was struck in comparatively small quantities across its entire run; the 1894 and 1895 dates together represent one of the shorter windows of production in the Baden 20 Mark series.

Struck at the Berlin mint, as was standard for Baden gold issues under the imperial coinage law of 1871.
