    To be honest I don`t know where, here is some info under the heading of Baden:
    In 1515, the most significant division of the patrimony took place, in which the Baden-Baden and Baden-
    (Pforzheim) Durlach lines were established.
    Under the list of mint marks D is:
    D - Aurich (East Friesland under Prussia), 1750-1806
    D - Dusseldorf, Rhineland (Prussia), 1816-1848
    D - Munich (Germany), 1872-date

    So, there are still a few in this group that we haven't had any luck ID'ing. Anyone else have opinions or W.A. guesses?

    I still have no labels on #12, #15 , #21 Bayern? (Date & denomination unknown), #23 Vienna? (date and denomination unknown), & #29.

    If I missed someone's attribution, I apologize.

    You are a miracle worker. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    On 12> Were there really nearly 87,000,000 of these made? In comparison - that's almost the exact same number of Morgan Dollars minted in 1921. Wow. I'm surprised I haven't seen one before (despite it's age).

    On closer examination, I can make out "Ein" on the reverse... so I'm guessing it is a Kreuzer (same diameter as 21) but am amazed you were able to recognize this coin. Very impressive!

    23> Even NGC doesn't have a photo (that always makes me feel a perverse kind of pride for some reason):

    29> My jeton has a slightly different bust, but I think you've nailed this one too. Perhaps they were produced in a set of gaming tokens. I don't know much about jeton's - were they something that patrons of a gaming establishment would likely take home (kind of like how low value casino chips are often collected today)? Or were they something that the proprietors would have handled exclusively (like dealer buttons)? Are there millions of unknown varieties out there, or just a handful that most collectors in the series are all very familiar with?
