Grand Duchy of Baden - Friedrich II (1907-1918) 1909 3 Mark Friedrich II was the son of Friedrich I and Princess Louise of Prussia (daughter of Wilhelm I). This made him the first cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Despite these close Prussian ties, he maintained Baden's distinct identity. This 1909 coin was struck during the stable "Belle epoque" period of his reign, before he became the first German prince to announce he would not resist the revolution in 1918.

Kingdom of Württemberg - Wilhelm II (1891-1918) 1909 3 Mark When he was forced to abdicate in 1918, Wilhelm II famously remarked that he only wanted to be remembered as a "good citizen." Unlike his cousin, the Kaiser in Berlin, Wilhelm II was famously approachable—often seen walking his dogs in the streets of Stuttgart without a bodyguard.

Grand Duchy of Hesse - Ernst Ludwig (1892-1918) 1910 3 Mark Ernst Ludwig was the brother of Empress Alexandra of Russia (wife of Nicholas II). He turned his capital, Darmstadt, into a world-renowned center for modern art and architecture. That kinda comes through with his official photo which seems very modern and not at all like the normal photo's of aristocracy at the start of the 20th Century (1905).
