This specimen was lot 4009 in Künker sale 294 (Osnabrück, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €330 (about US$445 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"REICHSGOLDMÜNZEN, BADEN, Friedrich I. 1852-1907. 20 Mark 1873. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (Germany, unified gold coinage, grand duchy of Baden, Frederick I, 1852-1907, twenty mark of 1873. Very fine to extremely fine.)"
