Anyone give a rough value for an 1838 1/2 Gulden silver coin from Baden, good condition. Was handed down to me from my grandfather. Thank you.

KM#209 is 5.303g of .900 silver, with a bust of Leopold I on the obverse and the denomination and date on the reverse, first minted in 1838 when 1,044,000 were produced. If you are using "good condition" in the technical sense, of a coin with flat details and a visible but faint design, its .1534 oz. ASW gives it a bullion value in the 60-65¢ range. If you are using it in an informal sense, the 19th Century Krause 3rd Ed. says it's retail value is $12.50 F, $30 VF, $45 XF, and $120 Unc. Why not post a picture and get a few opinions on its technical grade?

This coin is in G condition, in the technical sense. It is in my safe deposit box, so I don't have quick access to it to post a pic. Thank you very much for your help.
