This specimen was lot 1577 in Stephen Album sale 14 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2012), where it did not sell. The catalog description noted, "GERMANY: 20 pfennig, 1888-G, a superb specimen! NGC graded MS-66." This coin is an copper-nickel twenty pfennig from a type issued 1887-88 from the Berlin (mintmark "A"), Munich (mintmark "D"), Dresden (mintmark "E"), Stuttgart (mintmark "F"), Karlsruhe (mintmark "G", shown here) and Hamburg (mintmark "J") mints. Under the German Empire of 1871-1918, the denominations of two mark and up were permitted for the formerly independent principalities while the lower denominations (one pfennig thru one mark) were minted to a unified design. This is a slightly better date.
